Crews are out in River Region counties Wednesday morning clearing roads and removing downed trees in the wake of a line of severe thunderstorms that rumbled through the area Tuesday evening.
The whine of chainsaws mixed with the throaty growl of heavy equipment as the work went on. Widespread reports of trees down and trees on homes and buildings came in from Autauga, Elmore and Montgomery counties. There are still power outages in the counties as of 8 a.m. No injuries have been reported.
The National Weather Service has determined damage caused in east Prattville and Millbrook is the result of an EF1 tornado packing winds of up to 100 miles per hour. The length and width of the track will be determined at a later time, said Gerald Satterwhite, a meteorologist with the NWS storm survey team that made the determination.
