Trees Fall in Alabama Storms, Narrowly Missing Homes

0:00In Birmingham, it's March 16th, here's what is happening. Dozens of trees came down across Central Alabama early Monday morning after strong overnight storms. No one got hurt, which is a huge relief in areas like Birmingham and surrounding spots. In Birmingham's Billview Heights neighborhood, a tree crashed down just inches from a home, missing it by a narrow margin. Over in Homewood, another tree fell and blocked Oxmore Road and College Avenue, causing some traffic headaches. Residents are dealing with the mess, like in Blount County's Remlap, where a tree landed right on a front porch. In Hamilton, a roof took a direct hit from a falling tree, and folks there are assessing the damage. A woman in Calera had a close call, too, when a massive tree dropped right next to her car, but didn't touch it. These incidents highlight how powerful the winds were overnight. Crews are outclearing roads and debris now, and officials say stay cautious while driving, since more trees could still be unstable. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
