Aliceville Damage
This is the most significant damage I have seen… thanks to Ed Virden for these images, who writes:
“Here are pictures of the storm that come through Aliceville it appears to have been straight line winds. Numerous downed trees and power lines, the metal roof pictures are from downtown and the busted windows are of the POW Museum.”
