Alabama twister a deadly holdover from holiday week
A seven field wide F4 tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa killing 11 people including a 15 month old, with a 12th death in Geneva. The storm injured at least 75, toppled homes, strained power to 57 000 households, and prompted shelter operations as Alabama braces for a cold front and relief visits from state and federal officials.
