The Wiregrass braced for round three of severe weather Tuesday with another chance of storms Wednesday into Thursday.
Southeast Alabama and Northwest Florida were under a tornado watch Tuesday morning and afternoon as local school systems dismissed students early due to the threat of severe storms moving through the area.
Last week, a tornado killed two people along Gilberts Mill Road in Washington County, Florida, when it completely destroyed an anchored doublewide mobile home they were in during the storm. The same storm injured a man who was in a nearby singlewide mobile home that was also anchored. Debris from the two mobile homes was thrown into a tree line about 100 yards away.
As it reached its peak strength, the tornado heavily damaged a brick home and destroyed a wood home with a block foundation. Even as it weakened, the storm damaged roofs, barns, metal buildings, snapped tree trunks and tossed a grain silo into a nearby field. The tornado’s path crossed U.S. 231 before it lifted just south of Interstate 10.
The Associated Press reported violent storms killed one person in Texas early Tuesday as hail pelted communities and high winds knocked trees into power poles elsewhere in the South. Authorities issued a flurry of tornado warnings at the start of what could be two days of violent weather in the region.
