A line of severe storms moved through West Alabama late Tuesday afternoon, packing winds of more than 65 miles per hour and leaving heavy rain, downed trees and power outages in the area. Reports of storm damage came in from Tuscaloosa, Northport, Cottondale, Coker and Carrollton in Pickens County. Authorities say several trees and power lines were blown down near Moundville in Hale County, blocking roads. In Millbrook, one person was hurt as winds gusting to 45 mph damaged a patio cover.
Strong winds knocked down trees in cities including Columbiana and Clanton, and power lines were also down in some areas.
