Several people have been killed in Alabama and Georgia as severe storms and tornadoes destroyed homes and uprooted trees across the Southeast U.S.A series of tornadoes ripped through central Alabama on Thursday, killing six, Gov. Kay Ivey said. In Autauga County, Ala., 41 miles northeast of Selma, at least six fatalities were confirmed and an estimated 40 homes were damaged or destroyed by a tornado, according to the Associated Press.
A tornado that tore through Killona, La., about 30 miles west of New Orleans, left a trail of destruction Wednesday. Severe storms in the southeastern U.S. left at least three people dead and others injured as dozens of tornadoes touched down in Louisiana and Mississippi late Tuesday through Wednesday, officials said. The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center is tracking a system along the Gulf of Mexico and predicted strong tornadoes and damaging thunderstorm gusts late Wednesday across parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and parts of the western Florida Panhandle.
Covid, flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are together driving a national wave of respiratory illnesses. Covid, flu and RSV can be difficult to distinguish, since they share many common symptoms. But a loss of taste and smell is more commonly associated with Covid than with flu or RSV. Flu symptoms tend to develop more suddenly than those of Covid or RSV. To reduce the length of flu symptoms, though, doctors usually prescribe Tamiflu or one of three other approved treatments.
Tropical Storm Nicole neared hurricane strength early Wednesday as it aimed for Florida's Atlantic coast and the Southeast U.S. Previously a subtropical storm, Nicole has worked its way up to a tropical storm and was all but assured to become a hurricane overnight, the National Hurricane Center said. The hurricane center warned the entire state to be prepared for heavy weather. "Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion," the National Hurricane Center said in a late-night public advisory. Storm surf is likely to affect a long stretch of U.S. coastline, from the east coast of Florida to the Southeastern U.S., the hurricane center said.
Hurricane Ian is set to take aim at Florida's west coast as early as Wednesday, according to the National Hurricane Center. "A few tornadoes" are also possible late Monday night and Tuesday "across the Florida Keys and the southern and central Florida Peninsula." What initially formed as Tropical Depression Nine early Friday morning strengthened that night into Tropical Storm Ian, the NHC said. The hurricane is forecast to bring 8 to 15 inches to central West Florida, 3 to 8 inches to the rest of the Florida Peninsula and 4 to 6 inches to the Keys. On Saturday, the governor expanded that to apply statewide, citing the risk of a major hurricane making landfall on Florida’s western coast.
