PHIL CAMPBELL, AL (WAFF) -
The town of Phil Campbell is days ahead of its rebuilding schedule after an EF5 tornado damaged or destroyed a majority of the town.
But a group of people named Phil Campbell is hoping a Youtube video raises more money for the town.

Video creator Phil Campbell from England says the group was planning on meeting in June for a Phil Campbell convention in Phil Campbell, Alabama.
"One morning I woke up and I had an email from the Brooklyn organizer saying the town had been devastated. Within about 20 minutes we decided this cannot be a convention anymore we have to turn this into a relief effort," said Phil Campbell, video creator.
The video already has close to a thousand views, but with a celebrity endorsement they're hoping that number grows.
The group launched a website called imwithphil.com and plans on raising funds for the town. The members plan to be on hand to lend a hand in June at the Phil Campbell convention.
Phil Campbell from England plans on streaming his entire trip to this community online so others who can't visit can experience it as well.
