Damage assessments in Alabama are underway after a massive storm left over thirty dead nationally

Investigators with the National Weather Service will spend today working to establish the intensity of tornadoes that hit the southern U.S. Unconfirmed twisters in Alabama hit northwest of Tuscaloosa and southeast of the state capitol of Montgomery. One storm near Birmingham picked up a school bus and dropped it on a local high school. Violent weather in Georgia flipped a gas station onto its roof. Roads remain impassable due to downed trees and power lines. Storms in Missouri, Mississippi, and Arkansas are blamed for close to a dozen fatalities. The website Poweroutage.us says close to quarter million southern residents woke up in the dark today. The weather system also kicked up dust storms in Kansas and Texas that caused traffic pile ups that killed a dozen more. Forecasters were watching this system for close to a week before it hit due to the size and intensity. Alabama and Georgia were among the states to declare emergencies ahead of the storm’s arrival.
