Extremely warm temperatures and an unstable weather pattern brought Christmas Day tornadoes and flooding to Alabama, damaging homes and leaving hundreds without electricity.
The storms that ravaged the state were the latest in a wave of severe weather that’s hammered the South during Christmas week.
The funnel was spotted by witnesses outside Birmingham around 5 p.m. An hour later the National Weather Service confirmed that first responders were on the scene along Jefferson Avenue, a working class neighborhood 10 miles from downtown Birmingham.
Several houses on the block had been destroyed and partially blown into the street, Al.com reported Saturday.
