Tornado in Troy

Pike County is left picking up the pieces after a tornado struck the city of Troy, Alabama on Sunday morning.

Crews could be seen Sunday working to restore power lines on highway 231, in front of the Double Branch Lounge causing some congestion on the roadway. 

In downtown Troy, an Advance Auto Parts store no longer has a front wall, with the left side of the roof falling off. 

A semi-trailer has flipped over right behind the Adult Day Health Center, which is a state funded business which provides adults and elders with food and a place to gather. 

“I was just devastated [after seeing the damage],” Owner Patricia Wright said. “I just thank the lord we wasn’t in business.”

Hunters Mountain Mobile Estates also saw damage. Police limited the the space to only residents of the area, who saw flipped trailers and vehicles upon entering. 

Hunters Mountain resident Kadin Whatley made preparations to sleep on a friend’s couch at the Edge apartment complex the night before the tornado hit, distancing himself from the storm.
