Shocking before-and-after pictures show how one community in the Alabama town of Tuscaloosa was completely destroyed by a swathe of deadly storms laced with tornadoes – one a mile wide – which battered America’s South and killed at least 273 people across six states. 149 people died in Alabama alone, 32 in Mississippi, 24 in Tennessee, 13 in Georgia and eight in Virginia and one in Kentucky. Homes and buildings across Tuscaloosa in Alabama were taken apart, one hospital said its emergency room had admitted at least 100 people and paramedics were shown lifting a child out of a flattened home.
