‘Everything we had is gone’: Tornadoes rip through Alabama, devastating families

Justin and Amber Wallace, and their daughter, spent Friday sifting through the wreckage of their home, which was destroyed and turned onto its side after several tornadoes ripped through central Alabama on Thursday. “We don’t have anything,” Amber said, as friends and neighbours looked through the home’s wreckage in Deatsville, Ala., to find anything salvageable. “Everything we had is gone.” The family said they were so overwhelmed, they did not know what their next move would be. Storms damaged as many as 50 properties in Alabama’s Autauga County, according to the local sheriff’s office.
