Drone video shows the aftermath of tornado destruction in Talbotton, Georgia, on Sunday. Multiple homes and at least one apartment building were destroyed, an official said.
East Alabama residents rallied around each other amid the destruction spawned by the deadliest US tornado since 2013.
One of the tornadoes that ripped through Lee County was upgraded Monday to an EF-4 after meteorologists determined it brought 170 mph winds and left a track almost a mile wide. How you can help the tornado victimsThe path of destruction from the EF-4 is at least 24 miles long, said Chris Darden, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service's Birmingham office. The path was likely longer, because the twister crossed into Georgia.
