Cleanup Begins After Fatal Ala. Tornadoes
- Share via
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Emergency crews in Alabama picked their way through mangled houses and uprooted power lines Sunday in a search for survivors of tornadoes that hit the state, killing at least 12 people and injuring dozens.
The relief effort was most intense just south of Tuscaloosa, where National Guard troops sealed off a sprawling mobile home park that was flattened Saturday afternoon. Many of those killed were found in the park.
Tornadoes also destroyed scores of homes in Geneva and Dale counties, near the Alabama-Florida border, and in rural Etowah and Limestone counties in the northern part of the state.
