The storm had sustained winds of 40 mph and was centered about 75 miles north-northeast of New Orleans Saturday morning.

Authorities in Alabama say a suspected tornado spurred by Tropical Storm Claudette demolished or badly damaged at least 50 homes in a small town just north of the Florida border.

Sheriff Heath Jackson in Escambia County said a suspected tornado “pretty much leveled” a mobile home park, toppled trees onto houses and ripped the roof off of a high school gym. Most of the damage was done in or near the towns of Brewton and East Brewton, about 48 miles (about 77 kilometers) north of Pensacola, Florida.

3. Our bad one was 2 years ago.

Many of them took a 20 mile path. Still not recuperated. That one was half a mile from me. The last major one was in the late 80’s. Seems like we have one about every 20 years. My hometown was hit in 1969. I lost several school friends in that one.
