Clarke County, Ala. (Wala) – Clarke County hit storm damage after one what is believed to be a tornado.

EMA Director Roy Waite said three roads are currently blocked due to waste and fallen trees from severe weather. Waite said that Highway 59, 84 and 21 were originally blocked as the crews were out getting a better idea of waste signature and clearing roads.

At. At 21.50, all roads were reopened with the exception of Highway 84 and Center Point Road.

Fox 10 witnessed herds that cleared Highway 84 approx. 5 miles east of Highway 69. It was there – several trees and a tool bar were in the way.

Kenneth Kilpatrick traveled from Dallas on Wednesday and said when he entered Alabama – he started receiving Tornado warnings on his phone – eventually crashed into the trees and the rod in the middle of the roadway.

He was unharmed, but his vehicle had some damage to the front. He was waiting for a towing – but considered himself extremely lucky.

Meanwhile, Waite said they had received a few reports of structural damage – including a house that collapsed on highway 84. He expects them to probably get more – however, is very grateful to no reports of injuries.

The auxiliary herds were also in the area and worked to restore power cuts.
