Two Alabama deaths attributed to violent Xmas week weather

Two deaths are now attributed to last week’s violent Christmastime weather. The Coffee County Coroner’s office says the body of a missing man, believed swept away in his car, was found Sunday morning. The victim was accompanied by a five year-old boy, whose remains were recovered on Saturday. The two were killed when their vehicle was overtaken by floodwaters while attempting to cross a bridge Friday near the town of Jack, just northwest of Dothan. The deaths brings the number of people killed in severe weather in the Southeast last week to nineteen. Ten people died in Mississippi, and six died in Tennessee. One person was killed in Arkansas.
