An Alabama man was found dead inside his basement after a tornado ripped through a small city north of Birmingham, where rescue teams continued searching for the trapped and injured early Tuesday morning.
The victim, who is believed to be a teenager, was pronounced dead at the scene around 3 a.m.
Fultondale Police Chief D.P. Smith told AL.com the victim and his family took shelter in their basement amid the deadly weather Monday night, but that they were left trapped after a tree toppled and collapsed the roof of their home.
