PHOTOS: Trailer flips, homes damaged in Alabama after tornado touches down

DOTHAN, Ala. (WDHN) — Damage reports from around the Wiregrass came in as severe storms ripped through the area.

At around 11:10 p.m., a “dangerous” tornado touched down in Troy around Troy University.

The National Weather Service is scheduled to survey damage from a tornado in Pike and Bullock counties.

Pike County:

An 18-wheeler in the parking lot of the Walmart on Highway 231 flipped over.

Witness reports in Troy tell WDHN that the Flash Market, Juicy Crab, and Mikata have sustained heavy damage.

The owners told WDHN that one person was working when the tornado hit around 11 p.m. on Saturday, leaving water damage to the inside of the store and damage to the canopy and gas pump area.

They say one person from a third-party company is assessing the damage, and another crew is on its way. The owner says they will begin cleaning up the damage and fixing it on Sunday or Monday.

Another business that sustained damage was the Juicy Crab near the Flash Market. The owner is at the restaurant assessing the damage and says that the inside wasn’t harmed, but that the roof sustained major damage.

The owner told WDHN that they plan on being open for business on Sunday.

Witnesses also say the Pike County for Advanced Academics Learning Center sustained extreme roof damage.

Pike County Sheriff Russell Thomas says a mobile home flipped over near Banks, east of Troy, and the homeowner escaped with reportedly minor injuries.

There are many trees down in the Banks area, blocking roads such as highways 223 and 29, and Butter and Eggs Road.

Sheriff Thomas also says there are several damaged homes on Elm Street in Troy, with one roof being ripped off of the home. No injuries have been reported on or around Elm Street.

The NWS also reports major damage around the Troy Walmart and roof damage to the Troy Rec. Center, which was being used as a shelter.

Coffee County:

Trees were knocked down throughout the county, including in an area one mile southwest of Victoria.

Jackson County:

Trees were knocked down near Greenwood along Highway 162.

Washington County:

Trees were knocked down on Mayhaw Lane about two miles southwest of the Chipley Municipal Airport.
