Montgomery, Alabama

Selma Mayor James Perkins, Jr., Dallas County Emergency Management Agency Director Toya Stiles and other city and county leaders held a news conference today to outline the damage.The gymnasium roof at Selma University blew off, and there was also damage to windows and doors. At least 13 students had to be put up at hotels because power was out.The good news is no one was hurt or killed.The Dallas County EMA says the damage was from straight line winds and not a tornado.

If you have debris, take it to the curb, because crews will not go onto private property. But don’t put it in the road. Don’t touch powerlines, because even if they look dead, they may again carry electricity as power is restored. Mayor Perkins says at this point, it doesn’t appear that the damage is extensive enough to request state or federal aid.ACTION 8 UPDATE: Reward now $7,500 in hopes of solving Montgomery man's shooting death
