According to the SPC: “The HIGH risk area almost always means a major severe weather outbreak is expected, with great coverage of severe weather and enhanced likelihood of extreme severe (i.e., violent tornadoes or extreme convective wind events over a large area).”

According to AP, "At least three people were killed in central Alabama when multiple tornados swept across the state." Governor Kay Ivey also released a statement earlier Sunday talking about the devastation across the state.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey later confirmed at least three deaths and noted that there were reports of damage in 52 of the state's 67 counties as the assessment continues.

When severe weather tore through central Alabama on Saturday night, residents in Calera were told to take cover after a tornado was spotted in the area.
