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).

Six Alabama schools are closed down due to tornado damage according to a report by the Alabama Daily News, including Winterboro High School after suffering significant damage from the massive storm system that ravaged the state.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey later confirmed at least three deaths and noted that there were reports of damage in 52 of the state's 67 counties as the assessment continues.
