Storms, Possible Tornadoes In South Kill 1
There was at least one death as a batch of severe storms rolled through the South. The strong thunderstorms touched off several possible tornadoes as they hit parts of four states. In Tennessee, a tornado hit Cumberland County, knocking down trees and power lines, and damaging homes and cars. A 46-year-old woman in Laurel, Miss., was killed Sunday when a tree fell on her while she was standing outside her home, Jones County Coroner Nancy Barnett said. Another person in the county was injured.
Several funnel clouds were reported to the National Weather Service in Alabama, along with structural damage, downed trees and power lines in counties south and southwest of the greater Birmingham area. No injuries were reported.
Police in northwest Georgia said at least four funnel clouds were spotted but caused no significant damage or injuries. The storms also knocked out power to about 10,000 customers around the Atlanta area, and about 6,000 in Alabama. Near Birmingham, residents were sure they were hit by a twister. "The guy I was standing with said 'There's the tornado,' then we seen it," said Brad Shirley. "The trees sort of came together on the top and when they came in. We saw a black cloud just come in behind it and it was a loud whistle."
The path of the storm left behind twisted trees and damaged homes.
