Reported tornado tears through National Guard barracks
A possible tornado touched down late Monday in southern Mississippi, slashing through a National Guard barracks and injuring 14 guardsmen, according to a sheriff and a military spokesman. Lt. Col. Doril Sanders, a spokesman for Camp Shelby, said severe weather hit the facility around 11:25 p.m. CT.
High winds and a reported tornado snapped off trees Monday near Old Boston, Texas.
The barracks housed guardsmen from Mena, Arkansas, who are training at Shelby. They were taken to Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg with injuries that aren't life-threatening, Sanders said. The Forrest County Sheriff's Department said a tornado was reported, with the most significant damage at the camp.
Traffic backs up after an 18-wheeler overturned in a storm Monday near Liberty.
Camp Shelby is a Joint Forces Training Center about 75 miles northwest of Mobile, Alabama. The National Weather Service received two reports of tornadoes Monday in Mississippi, and numerous reports of hail and damage from high winds in a swath from eastern Texas to Alabama, according to the weather service's Web site. The service issued a tornado watch Tuesday morning for parts of Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and Tennessee.
