Searches Resume After Tornado Kills At Least 23 In Alabama
ALABAMA (CBSNEWS.COM) - This morning rescuers are tearing through the rubble of mobile homes and houses in search of survivors of a powerful tornado that rampaged through southeast Alabama and killed at least 23 people. The youngest victim was 6 years old.

Drones flying overheard equipped with heat-seeking devices had scanned the area for survivors, but the dangerous conditions halted the search late Sunday.
