WEATHER
HEADLINES Last week a strong storm
system moved across the South causing widespread damage. The National Weather
Service has now documented paths of destruction from at least 10 tornadoes in
the outbreak of storms across central Alabama early last week. Recently
completed surveys show that tornadoes struck in Perry and Chilton counties,
including an EF-2 tornado that left a nearly 40-mile path of damage. That
twister, the Maplesville tornado, destroyed the sanctuary of the historic
Ephesus Church. It also tore apart trees in the Talladega National Forest,
toppled a radio tower and damaged homes and businesses just north of downtown
Maplesville. The deadliest twister in the storm outbreak was an EF-3 that
struck in St. Clair and Jefferson County, where two people were killed and
about 100 more were hurt. Forecasters say that storm had maximum winds
estimated at 150 mph.
