At least 23 people were killed in one Alabama county after a series of tornadoes ripped through the state on Sunday. The victims include children, Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones says.
The powerful tornadoes that plowed through Lee County in Alabama and killed at least 23 people left a path of destruction that looked"as if someone had taken a blade and just scraped the ground," the county sheriff said Monday.
At daybreak, emergency crews and residents witnessed more of the aftermath of the twisters that Sheriff Jay Jones called"catastrophic," and the search was on for survivors and more victims.It appears that some people had only a five-minute warning Sunday afternoon before tornadoes ripped through the region. .m-infographic--1551704642681 { background: url no-repeat 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-top: 121.
