Heads up: Tornado aftermath
Ten people were killed Thursday in tornado-related damage in Alabama, including eight students at Enterprise High School in the southeastern corner of the state. School officials sent students to interior halls at 10:30 a.m., but waited until 1 p.m. to close school. At that point, no one was able to evacuate until 1:30, because a tornado had already been spotted in the area. At 1:15, the storms struck, causing a concrete slab roof to collapse. Could a quicker response have saved lives?
