PRATTVILLE, Ala. - Severe weather howled through much of the nation's eastern half Sunday, producing damaging tornadoes in the South and treating winter-weary parts of the Midwest to freezing rain, snow and flooding.
In Prattville, outside Montgomery, Mayor Jim Byard said that a tornado struck a residential area and that crews searched for any storm victims who might be trapped in the wreckage.
No fatalities were immediately reported, but two people were critically injured, said Fire Chief Dallis Johnson.
"It's very possible we may have more injuries," he said, saying that some trapped people had been rescued.
A 35-bed mobile hospital unit was set up outside a Kmart to treat victims with minor to moderate injuries so that hospitals could take those with serious injuries, Dr. Steve Allen said.
