A tornado that hit rural Alabama has left several people searching for somewhere to live before another round of storms hit the state.

A public housing community called Branch Heights in Eutaw saw more than 40 homes damaged by a twister Wednesday night. Twenty-seven of those apartments have been deemed uninhabitable.

Workers are trying to find housing for around 110 people, which is becoming a more urgent task as more storms are forecasted for the weekend.
