Highway 431 South Mini Storage was in line of the EF-2 tornado that ripped through Boaz.

Dozens of storage units behind First Capital Insurance were destroyed causing much debris to be scattered in the area.

Most of the storage units there were full. People came out today to salvage what they can.

Workers there say people are mostly trying to save sentimental items.

Producer with First Capital Insurance, Chad Cofield, said, "Folks here that I've seen today, it's really been family heirlooms. It's pictures. It's trophies. It's an old yearbook, things like that that you can't put a price tag on."

They plan to rebuild the storage units.
