At Least 5 Dead After Tornadoes Hit Deep South

March 26, 2021 4:17 am

Tornadoes hatched by early spring “super cell” storms have ripped a path of devastation across Alabama and into Georgia early Friday, leaving at least five people dead. Authorities say one fierce tornado traveled roughly 100 miles and left a long path of damage. The storms knocked out power to tens of thousands in Alabama. They also raised warnings about possible overnight flash floods in parts of Georgia and Tennessee and other severe weather into Kentucky and the Carolinas. First lady Jill Biden has postponed a trip to Birmingham and Jasper, Alabama, that had been planned for Friday.
