At least two people have died in severe weather near Birmingham, Alabama, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said.
Storms tore across the Southeast early Monday, spreading damage through at least two states, emergency officials said.
In Alabama, damage was reported near Birmingham and Tuscaloosa -- which was devastated by an EF-5 tornado in April -- as well as south of Birmingham, officials said.
"There has been heavy damage in areas north of Tuscaloosa" from a possible tornado, David Hartin with Tuscaloosa Emergency Management said. "There are reports of a roof torn off of a home, several trees down, and lots of power outages."
In Arkansas, at least one person was hurt when a possible tornado touched down on the northern edge of Fordyce, in south-central Arkansas. Five or six homes were destroyed, and another 10 or 11 were moderately to severely damaged, said Jim Johnson of the Dallas County, Arkansas, emergency management office. "I've seen enough of these -- I'm sure it was a tornado," Johnson said.
