Between 4:45 and 5 p.m. Wednesday, a tornado cut through the heart of Tusca-loosa. "It was total devastation," one witness said. "Every-thing I saw was gone. McAlister’s, major damage. No Taco Casa, no McDonald’s, Mike and Ed’s Barbeque, major damage.
A tornado carved a path of at least 25 miles through DeKalb County, killing or injuring almost 250 people and damaging hundreds of buildings.
Around 2:50 p.m. Wednesday, a tornado was sighted heading toward Cullman. Buildings in the downtown area were destroyed. The tornado ripped half the roof off the Cullman County Courthouse and heavily damaged the First Baptist Church-Cullman. "I felt a cold blast of air, and the pressure in my ears changed," one witness said.
Three tornadoes ripped through Marion County and into Franklin County, killing at least 30 people combined, according to preliminary numbers from the state Emergency Management Agency. Emergency officials put the number at more than 50 dead.
