Storms cause significant damage in Mulga
MULGA, Ala. (WIAT) — Strong storms swept through central Alabama Saturday afternoon, taking down trees and leaving thousands without power. A thunderstorm came through the town of Mulga around 2:30 p.m. It took down dozens of trees, blocking roads, tearing down power lines and even a part of Roger Parkin's house. '15 seconds, the tree across the road fell in the front yard, and this one here about five seconds after it did,' said Parkin. 'I was under the carport and my wife came out to see if I was okay and that's when the tree came down right onto the room she was sitting in,' he added. Saban Center to break ground in July Parkin's home had the most significant damage CBS 42 saw in Mulga, but it wasn't the only home affected. Just down the road, Danielle Ward had a tree fall on both her cars, landing just feet from where she and her newborn were sitting. 'I was just sitting on the couch with my baby and my husband was playing video games, and I was about to get ready to go to work. And it started storming, and he was like, look outside, and I was like, oh my gosh, and my plants started falling, and he was going to go outside to get them, and then it just fell onto both of my vehicles,' commented Ward. The mulga fire department says they will be working throughout the night to clear trees and clean up power lines. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Pockets of flooding possible overnight, some strong storms
Flood Watch in effect for most of Central Alabama until 7 PM Monday… Tonight: Scattered showers and heavy storms will continue drifting north through central Alabama, becoming less numerous after midnight as temperatures fall into the lower 60s. A strong to severe storm is possible for areas south and west of Birmingham. Monday: While most of us should start the day dry and mostly cloudy, scattered showers and storms will reignite after lunch. A strong to severe storm can't be ruled out mainly along and east of the I-65 corridor on Monday afternoon/evening. Highs will be in the low to mid 70s. This Week: Our rainy pattern continues into Tuesday with another round of mainly afternoon showers and storms expected. This round will be a bit less numerous and storms aren't expected to become very strong. Nonetheless, plan on keeping the umbrella around until we reach midweek. This is when our rainy pattern will trade out with a hot and dry pattern for the second half of the week. A ridge of high pressure will creep northward out of the Gulf, allowing our temperatures to soar into the upper 80s and low 90s by Thursday and Friday. In addition to this, the muggy air will stick around so it may actually feel more like the low/mid 90s for some of us, especially on Friday. As the ridge breaks back down, showers and storms will enter back into the forecast on Friday night and on into the weekend. These storms will be working with a little more wind shear, leading to concern for perhaps some damaging winds for a few storms. This is something that will become more clear as we move through the week.
