Autoridades acreditam que número de vítimas vai aumentar

Um tornado atingiu o Alabama nos EUA, provocando uma "destruição catastrófica" num raio de 400 metros, fazendo pelo menos 23 mortos, segundo as autoridades norte-americanas.

O número de vítimas mortais pode vir a aumentar, disse o xerife do condado de Lee, Jay Jones, à AP. Várias pessoas foram hospitalizadas e outras foram dadas como desaparecidas, sendo que estes números não são ainda conhecidos.

De acordo com o xerife, o tornado percorreu vários quilómetros e causou uma "destruição catastrófica" num raio de 400 metros, no estado norte-americano do Alabama, no sudeste do país.

Durante a noite, as autoridades foram obrigadas a suspender as operações de resgate devido à "enorme quantidade de detritos".

Foram foram lançados vários alertas de tornado em vários locais dos estados do Alabama, Georgia, Florida e Carolina do Sul.
