“We are receiving reports of damage in the Eutaw area (Greene County, Alabama), including damage to structures. We have no details of this damage at this time. They are connected to a storm that caused a tornado,” the Birmingham, Alabama SPC office said on social media.
“Especially dangerous”
Alarms were issued on Tuesday, which allowed the population to be ready. As of Tuesday evening, about 40 million people were on tornado alert across the southern and central United States, according to the Weather Services. Local media reported that dozens of residents in some places in the south of the country have taken refuge as a precaution. There were no reports of evacuations. The situation, initially described as “particularly dangerous” by the CSP, should normalize during the day according to the meteorological services.
A series of tornadoes had previously struck the southern part of the country in early November, mainly Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas, killing one person. This meteorological phenomenon, as impressive as it is difficult to predict, is relatively common in the United States, especially in the center and south of the country. Sometimes it is still devastating. Nearly a year ago, in December 2021, approximately 80 people lost their lives after multiple tornadoes hit Kentucky.
