Tornadoes wreck homes in Alabama

Tornadoes damaged numerous homes in Alabama, and two people died as a tree crunched their mobile home, authorities said Wednesday.

The National Weather Service had warned that strong twisters capable of carving up communities over long distances were possible as the storm front moved eastward from Texas. Significant tornado damage was evident in the Flatwood community north of Montgomery, Alabama, where the two people were killed. Search and rescue teams would continue going door to door until everyone is accounted for.
