Twisters and heavy storms brought “significant damage” to Alabama Thursday afternoon amid a day of ominous warnings from weather forecasters.
“Selma has received significant damage from the tornado,” Selma mayor James Perkins Jr. said on Facebook Thursday afternoon.
He warned citizens to stay off the roads and beware of downed power lines. That message came less than two hours after the National Weather Service in Birmingham warned a “considerable” tornado was coming through Dallas County.
