An 83-year-old Talladega County man is the third person known to have died as severe weather struck Alabama Saturday night. Coroner Shaddix Murphy identified the victim as Harry Leon Faine. Faine was in his mobile home on Bob White Road, which is about a half mile from Winterboro High School, across Highway 21.

Officails say 52 of Alabama’s 67 counties sustained damage from severe weather Saturday evening, but Shelby and Talladega counties were hit particularly hard in certain spots. A tornado threw a school bus onto the roof of Winterboro High School gymnasium as it tore through Talladega County on its way east.

At least seven tornadoes hit Alabama on Saturday, and that number will likely climb even higher later today. The National Weather Service plans to continue looking at storm damage and has several areas that will be visited by storm survey teams today (Monday).

The Talladega County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the first fatality early Sunday morning. The second death was confirmed by Governor Kay Ivey in a statement issued by the governor's office.

The National Weather Service said Monday that at least seven tornadoes hit central Alabama on Saturday. The tornadoes, which ranged from EF0 to EF3, left at least three people dead and three others injured between Saturday night and Sunday early morning,
