Four children, including a 6-year-old boy ripped from his father's arms, were among the 23 victims of Sunday's deadly tornado that tore through Western Alabama, according to Lee County officials.
The names and ages of victims were released at a news conference Tuesday held by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and local law enforcement officials.
Seven victims are connected to the same family through marriage, officials said. "Just keep those families in your prayers," Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said. "It's a tragic situation."
The EF-4 tornado with winds of 170 mph cut through a nearly one-mile-wide path that stretched over at least 24 miles through the small rural town of Beauregard, Alabama, near the border with Georgia. Officials now believe the overall track of tornadoes Sunday extended 70 miles across the two states.
