Storms hit Southeast
|
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Parts of the Southeast are dealing with
a battering from severe storms.
Damage and at least one fatality are reported in a number of
states from Mississippi to Virginia. Tornado warnings were issued
late Thursday for parts of Virginia, including communities outside
Washington.
In North Carolina, one person was killed and three others
injured in a tornado that swept at least three tractor-trailers off
an interstate near Greensboro.
An apparent tornado wrecked a furniture store in Tupelo,
Mississippi, during the day Thursday. Strong winds flipped a mobile
home in Alabama. And at least four houses and a few barns were
damaged in south-central Tennessee.
Students in more than a dozen school districts in Alabama were
sent home early and others were kept late while storm squalls
passed. A car dealership employee in Hamilton, Alabama, describes
it as "pretty good wind, with lightning and thunder and rain
blowing sideways."
