At least seven people, including a child, were killed Thursday as severe storms swept across the South
Damaged powerlines, severed tree limbs and debris littered streets in Alabama, Georgia and Kentucky, where at least 35 preliminary tornado reports were recorded as of Thursday evening, according to the Storm Prediction Center. Six people died in hard-hit Autauga County in central Alabama, where search efforts will continue Friday, county coroner Buster Barber told CNN. “My prayers are with their loved ones and communities,” Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said in a tweet.
One tornado in Alabama reportedly stayed on the ground for at least 50 miles, inflicting damage to seven counties, according to National Weather Service Meteorologist Gerald Satterwhite. “It was a pretty significant tornado,” Satterwhite told CNN, adding that debris was flung into the air to about 10,000 to 15,000 feet. Tornado damage in Dallas County – home to Selma – spanned the length of the county, coroner William Alan Dailey said in a video conference.
