ALBANY GA (John Gosa – Albany Herald. There will be a link to several stories on the Herald website linking to the devastation left in the Southeast. Here are a few excerpts from the main story.) Search and rescue workers continued the grisly task Monday of searching for victims of a deadly tornado that struck east Albany Sunday, leaving at least four dead and several neighborhoods in shambles. & Dougherty County Coroner Michael Fowler released the names of two of the victims late Monday afternoon. & Following a wave of intense thunderstorms that rolled through the southeast over the weekend, a storm that’s being described as a tornado by witnesses carved a path of destruction across southeast Albany Sunday afternoon, leaving at least four dead and countless others injured, displaced or homeless. & Many roads remained nearly impassable on Monday, blocked by broken trees, many snapped off mid-trunk, and downed utility lines. Wind-driven debris littered roadsides and impacted homes, causing widespread structural damage for several miles.
