Written by Daphne Thompson | Nov 30, 2016 8:20:54 PM

Yesterday tornadoes scraped across the southeast killing 5 people and injuring several more. In Alabama, a nighttime tornado critically injured the owner of a 24 hour daycare center and his family, who took shelter in the building.

A Baptist church and a plaza were also destroyed just after midnight local time in Pisgah, Alabama, 30 miles SE of Chattanoga, Tennessee.

The NOAA Storm Prediction Center issued a moderate risk at the 20 UTC update; the second highest risk category possible by that agency with an emphasis on tornadoes. Overall, all 22 tornado reports were all within the 5% contour of tornado probability contour.
