Three people were
killed in Rosalie in northeast Alabama where at least one
tornado was reported by a weather spotter, the National Weather
Service reported on its website.
About 6 miles (10 km) east in Ider, Alabama, four children along
with several other people were injured when a 24-hour daycare
center was destroyed, the service said.
The National Weather Service fielded 27 reports of tornados as
the storm system, packing hail and heavy downpours, moved
through eastern Texas, northern Mississippi and Alabama and into
southeast Tennessee late on Tuesday and early Wednesday morning.
The system destroyed homes and businesses, downed power lines
and snapped trees, according to the weather service and local
media.
