CBS News Deadly tornado leaves path of destruction in Alabama Fultondale, Alabama — A tornado that teared through the city overnight ripped roofs off homes, pulverized walls and scattered debris so high it showed up on radar. Elliott Hernandez, 14, is the first confirmed fatality. He was hiding with his family in a basement when their home collapsed. Dozens more were injured. "We have recovered six additional people who were trapped," said Fultondale Fire Department Chief Justin McKenzie. Kim Turner was with her 2-year-old grandson Fisher when she heard the storm intensify. "The house was just shaking, so I took him to the basement," she said. They got to safety just before a tree crushed their home. She's still emotional recounting their close call.
