Around 38,000 people across Alabama and Georgia were left without power on Sunday.
President Donald Trump has expressed his condolences for the victims of a string of devastating tornadoes that hit Alabama, Georgia and Florida on Sunday.
“To the great people of Alabama and surrounding areas: Please be careful and safe,” Trump wrote. “Tornadoes and storms were truly violent and more could be coming. To the families and friends of the victims, and to the injured, God bless you all!” — NWS Birmingham March 4, 2019 Michael Sznajderman, a spokesman for the utility firm Alabama Power, told Reuters that 17,000 Alabamians were initially left without power, though crews were able to restore service to all but 6,000 by around 9 p.m. EST Sunday. As of early Monday morning, around 3,000 customers are still without power, according to PowerOutage.US.
The outbreak of tornadoes was America’s worst in six years, according to The Washington Post. Two separate deadly twisters tore through Alabama’s Lee County on Sunday afternoon. Jones told CNN Sunday: “The challenge is the sheer volume of the debris where all the homes were located…It’s the most I’ve seen that I can recall.” The sheriff told WRBL-TV he could not recall any time “in the last 50 years, maybe even longer than that, a situation where we have had this loss of life.”
