Powerful storms snapped power lines, uprooted trees and smashed cars across the south this week. Seven deaths were reported in Alabama Saturday, raising the storm's total death toll to at least sixteen.

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley declared a state of emergency for the state on Friday.

"This is a serious storm that has already caused significant damage across the South. I hope Alabamians take extreme caution while these storms move through," said Governor Bentley. "When this weather system is no longer a threat, we are prepared to assist our citizens and communities that have been severely affected."
