Yahoo奇摩新聞 Tornado Causes Severe Damage in Selma, Alabama
A “large and extremely dangerous tornado” tore through Selma, Alabama, on Thursday, January 12, the National Weather Service in Birmingham said, with city officials reporting " significant damage" to buildings, power lines, trees, and vehicles.
This footage, streamed live on Facebook by Selma resident Lemarkus A. Snow, shows damage to homes, debris strewn over roadways, and a vehicle that was struck by a falling tree while a woman and infant were inside. Snow and his friend rush to check on the occupants, who both appear to have escaped injury.
Snow told his Facebook followers that he saw damage to multiple buildings across the town and compared the scenes to “World War III.”
“The city’s just torn up,” said Snow said, who urged people to check on their family and friends.
Selma authorities said most streets in the city were closed due to downed power lines and trees, but said all schools had reported that students were unharmed. Credit: Lemarkus A. Snow via Storyful
