Tornadoes Injure 5 at Trailer Park

Tornadoes hopscotched through southeast Alabama, slightly injuring five trailer-park residents and scattering brightly wrapped Christmas gifts over a wide area. A spokesman for the Houston County Emergency Management Agency said some of the victims were taken to a hospital, where they were treated and released. “Broken bones were the worst thing,” spokesman Shelby Womack said. The tornado that hit the trailer park in the town of Dothan was just one of several small twisters that moved through Geneva, Houston and Dale counties in the southeast corner of the state, about 75 miles from Montgomery. The twisters damaged more than 50 buildings.
