Alabama storms leave widespread damage, minor injuries. 'Now we prepare for the next system.'
The National Weather Service issued multiple tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings on Wednesday, and there were several tornado debris signatures on radar with the storms.. Storm survey teams are expected to assess the damage today.
One person was hurt when a mobile home was overturned in Bibb County as a tornado-warned storm moved through the area late Wednesday night. No additional details were immediately available. The University of Montevallo police department reported one minor injury. A dormitory there sustained roof damage.Tens of thousands of people were left without power“These were widespread across the county due to the nature of the winds,’’ said EMA Director Jim Coker. “The wind contributed to incidents such as the apartments which were damaged in Hoover and the power lines down which impeded traffic on I-65.”He said he has not been made aware of any life-threatening injuries.
Sheriff’s Maj. Clay Hammac said authorities received reports of significant structure damage to a couple of homes in the Chelsea area.“The heroes who deserve to be recognized are our county highway department workers, firefighters and deputies who spent the late-night hours clearing large trees and debris from the roadways all throughout the county,’’ Hammac said.
