FULTONDALE, Ala. (AP) A teenager huddling in his basement was killed and several of his family members were critically injured when a tornado blew a tree onto their home and it collapsed on top of them, police said this morning. At least 28 other people were injured as the twister carved a 10-mile (16 kilometers) path of destruction north of Birmingham.
The tornado caused damage from Fultondale to Center Point, striking an area of Alabama that was severely harmed by a much larger tornado a decade ago.
