Storms cause injuries and outages across Deep South
A line of storms and a possible tornado struck Mississippi and Alabama toppling trees and cutting power to about 50 000 customers. At least 54 people were injured from Texas to Alabama. In Tuscaloosa winds up to 50 mph damaged cars, windows and a billboard while a drug store roof peeled. Louisiana saw about 40 000 customers lose power briefly as waterspouts closed the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.
