Driving the route of Wednesday evening's storm in Russell County,
Chance Corbett said today he saw "a lot of roof damage" from hail.
He also saw one house in Seale, Ala., that the baseball-sized stone
had "punctured holes in the siding."
"Besides the house damage," said the director of Russell County
Emergency Management, "about 20 cars had serious hail damage. There
were shattered windshields."
He had no dollar amount for the damage.

A spring storm that swept across Alabama and Georgia Wednesday evening
produced baseball-sized hail and funnel clouds, but no reported
injuries.
Chance Corbett, director of Russell County Emergency Management, said
hail and funnel clouds were spotted mostly in Fort Mitchell near Ala.
165 and County Road 24 and parts of Seale, Ala. In Seale, the hail
pummelled several car windshields near Silver Run Baptist Church and
White Spot Grocery, and a skylight of a home. Another homeowner in
Fort Mitchell reported damaged siding from large hail.
Wednesday's weather was the first severe storm since March 1 when a
tornado touched down in north Columbus and damaged homes and
businesses.
"We had mostly hail damage," Corbett said Wednesday. "We're seeing a
lot of limbs of trees, but not a lot of trees down in the roads."
Russell County also had two reports of trees down in the roadways, he
said.
Barbara Keyser, an employee of the BP Quick Stop on Ala. 165 in Fort
Mitchell said customers were stopping in to escape the violent
weather, which included "softball-sized" hail.
"Some people were coming in with their windshields busted," Keyser
said. As of 9 p.m., the hail had tapered, but the rain was still
heavy. Keyser said despite the punishing elements outside, the store
stayed lit.
