AccuWeather – A day after a series of tornadoes caused widespread damage, injuries and fatalities in the Deep South, reports continue to roll in of the storm’s impacts while tornado warnings and watches persist. Tornado watches and warnings continued into Tuesday morning, with many regions in central Alabama under a tornado warning and portions of southern Alabama, southern Georgia and the panhandle of Florida under a tornado watch. A slew of more than 70 tornado warnings was in effect across Louisiana and
Mississippi by midday Monday as a violent outbreak of severe weather ignited across the region sparking 33 tornado reports. Many towns are left with impassable roads, snapped trees, damaged homes, and debris mangled in trees. The full scope of the damage won’t be finalized until the National Weather Service (NWS) survey teams conclude their post-disaster analysis. An EF2 tornado has already been confirmed from the community of Salt Well in Marengo County, Alabama. Two mobile homes and three injuries were reported at this location. One tornado traveled more than 60 miles across central Louisiana, first touching down near DeRidder and continuing on the ground through Alexandria, according to the NWS. READ MORE
