The deadly tornado outbreak across the southern United States last week resulted in dozens of destructive tornadoes and multiple deaths across Alabama and Georgia, including four members of the same family. Among the devastated communities was Selma, Alabama, which took a direct hit from one of the tornadoes.
New satellite imagery released by Maxar Technologies shows more clearly the scale of the tornado’s destruction in the city, located in Dallas County, Alabama, about 40 miles west of Montgomery. Numerous homes in the path of the storm can be seen destroyed or heavily damaged as piles of debris are scattered across neighborhoods when the images were taken on Jan. 15, three days after the tornado hit.
