Five people were killed Thursday as tornado-producing storms ripped through central Alabama, destroying homes and structures along the way, WBRC6 reports.
Severe weather warnings were issued for the parts of the Mid-South and Tennessee River Valley, with tornados expected across the region.
The National Weather Service (NWS) declared a number of tornado warnings in Alabama, with some remaining in effect until 8 p.m. CT, as wild winds shred across the state.
"The most persistent/intense supercells will be capable of producing strong to violent tornadoes, along with very large hail and substantial damaging winds," the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center wrote Thursday.
Three of the victims who died Thursday were living in a wooden home, while the two other victims were living in mobile homes, according to WBRC6.
