Major damage to Alabama mobile home park during Tropical Storm Claudette

Authorities in Alabama are investigating a suspected tornado spurred by Tropical Storm Claudette. The system demolished or badly damaged at least fifty homes in a small town just north of the Florida border. The Escambia County Sheriff Department says the possible tornado levelled much of a mobile home park. It also reportedly toppled trees onto houses and ripped the roof off of a high school gym. There were immediate no reports of deaths. Most of the damage was done in or near the towns of Brewton and East Brewton, about fifty miles north of Pensacola.
