WETUMPKA, Ala. (AP) – Dozens of tornadoes struck overnight from Louisiana to Alabama, wrecking numerous homes, destroying a fire station and ripping the roof off an apartment complex. More than 50,000 people have been without power, and forecasters said Wednesday that the “threat for supercells capable of all severe weather hazards” continues in southern Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Florida panhandle. Authorities have opened a shelter for storm victims north of Montgomery, Alabama, where two people were killed as a tree fell on their home. Record high temperatures ahead of a cold front charged up the dangerous storm system.
