Handout / COURTESY OF JUSTIN MERRITT, INSTAGRAM / AFPA tornado tore through the southern US state of Alabama on Sunday, killing 23 people, uprooting trees and causing “catastrophic” damage to buildings and roads, a local sheriff said.
Search operations for those still missing were halted on Sunday night due to hazardous conditions, but Jones added they would resume on Monday morning.“I cannot recall at least in the last 50 years… a situation where we have had this loss of life that we experienced today.”The swath of destruction left by the storm was a quarter mile wide and stretched for the “several miles that it traveled on the ground,” according to Jones.
Television images showed the heavy rain had relented by dusk but many roads in the worst-hit areas were left littered with debris and unpassable. “My sister and niece have been under tornado watch and warnings all day in Montgomery… Prayers up for Alabama,” Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ava Duvernay tweeted.“To the great people of Alabama and surrounding areas: Please be careful and safe,” he wrote on Twitter.
