A tornado killed 14 people and caused “catastrophic” damage in the southern US state of Alabama on Sunday, local officials said. “At this time, we have 14 confirmed fatalities,” Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said in a video posted on Facebook by a journalist from a local CBS affiliate. Lee County coroner Bill Harris confirmed the death toll: “We’ve got 14 people dead at this time and I expect that number to go higher,” he told MSNBC.
