The tornado was spotted at 9:30 a.m. in Henry County, in
southeastern Alabama, where several rail cars were overturned,
the National Weather Service said.
"There is a possibility of storms redeveloping this afternoon
which could be strong and ... there could be another area of
storms after midnight that could be severe," said Jason Davis, a
National Weather Service meteorologist.
The service forecast severe thunderstorms, large hail, damaging
winds and the possibility of more tornados for the region
through Sunday afternoon and night.
A family sustained minor injuries on Sunday morning in the small
town of Leesburg, Alabama where winds blew a tree onto their
home, according to Ricky Adams, spokesman for the Alabama
Emergency Management Agency.
The National Weather Service also reported that strong winds
damaged agricultural buildings at Pleasant Valley High School in
Calhoun, Alabama.
Powerful winds also blew down trees and power lines in Leon and
Washington counties in the Florida Panhandle and in southwestern
Georgia, according to the National Weather Service.
