HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - At least six people were killed in Autauga County, Alabama, on Thursday as a storm swept through the South, damaging homes and leaving tens of thousands of customers without power in parts of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.
“That home is completely destroyed,” Ms Malary White, a spokesperson for the agency, said Thursday. More reports of damage were expected later as local officials continued to assess parts of the state, Ms White said. In Bibb County, Alabama, the weather service warned on Twitter that a “large and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS tornado” was moving through the area around 11.34am local time.
The office urged residents to “please refrain from traveling the roadways” and to avoid downed power lines. “City crews will be out as soon as practical to clean up,” it said.
