GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Authorities say two people in northern
Alabama have been killed in separate accidents caused by heavy
storms.
Marshall County Sheriff's spokesman Heath Thomas tells The
Huntsville Times a woman was killed and her husband injured when
the storms destroyed their mobile home near Guntersville late
Sunday. Their identities have not been released.
It was not yet known whether the home was destroyed by a
possible tornado or extremely high winds that the storms produced
across much of Mississippi, Alabama and parts of Georgia.
In Morgan County, The Decatur Daily reports a tree fell on a
mobile home and killed a man inside.
In Georgia, a child sustained cuts and bruises when a tree fell
onto the roof of a house in Cherokee County, north of Atlanta. At
least a dozen homes were damaged.
