People hid in bathtubs and shipping containers as a deadly storm tore through Alabama and Georgia
David Hollon stands inside his garage in Autauga County, Ala., on Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023. The Alabama engine mechanic took refuge in a shipping container near the back of his garage as a tornado from Thursday's violent storm decimated his shop and killed two of his neighbors along its destructive path across Alabama and Georgia.
The storm passed and they emerged, only to find the body of his neighbor in the street, he said. Another neighbor up the road had also died, a family member said. "The trailer should be here, and now it's not," Johnson said, pointing to a slab covered in debris,"And it is all over the place now." Residents described chaotic scenes as the storm spun toward them. People rushed into shelters, bathtubs and sheds as the winds bore down. In one case, a search crew found five people, trapped but unharmed, inside a storm shelter after a wall from a nearby house fell onto it.
