A teenager was killed and multiple people were injured Monday when a tornado tore through an area north of Birmingham, Alabama.
“Multiple buildings, including a high school, a motel and dozens of homes, were severely damaged when the tornado struck Fultondale, Alabama, about 10:40 p.m. CST Monday night,” the Weather Channel reported.
The victim was trapped in his home’s basement where his family took shelter as the storm passed overhead, said Fultondale Police Chief D.P. Smith.
It appeared a tree fell on the home which caused the house to collapse, and Smith added that some of the family members sustained serious injuries.
