MOUNDVILLE, Ala. — A wave of storms is pounding the Deep South, leaving a trail of splintered trees and damaged buildings. And forecasters said still more severe weather was on the way with the potential for massive tornadoes, downpours and hail the size of tennis balls.
The weather service says roughly 16 million people in the Southeast could see powerful storms through early Thursday. And a region of nearly 3 million stretching from southeastern Arkansas and northeastern Louisiana across Mississippi into Alabama was at particular risk for big twisters that stay on the ground for miles.
Scattered damage was reported in Alabama, Mississippi and Texas.
