BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A state corrections official says a reported tornado in northern Alabama hit a state prison but there was no immediate word on damages or injuries.

Another reported tornado destroyed several houses in northern Alabama as storms threatened more twisters across the region, two days after a storm system killed 13 people in the Midwest and South.
