Alabama was struck with possibly 17 tornadoes during Saturday's outbreak of severe weather, with the storms causing at least three fatalities and several injuries.

At least seven tornadoes hit Alabama on Saturday, and that number will likely climb even higher later today. The National Weather Service plans to continue looking at storm damage and has several areas that will be visited by storm survey teams today (Monday).

According to AP, "At least three people were killed in central Alabama when multiple tornados swept across the state." Governor Kay Ivey also released a statement earlier Sunday talking about the devastation across the state.

When severe weather tore through central Alabama on Saturday night, residents in Calera were told to take cover after a tornado was spotted in the area.
