Alabama declared an emergency ahead of the storm's arrival, but appears to have been spared some of the worst. Nevertheless, tornado sightings were reported northwest of Tuscaloosa and southeast of the state capital of Montgomery, and damage was widespread. Near Birmingham, a school bus was tossed onto a local high school. Elsewhere, a gas station was flipped onto its roof.
