Alabama Power crews had reduced power outages statewide from 24,530 to around 4,000 by early morning Wednesday, following tornadoes and high winds that struck the eastern part of the state Monday night.

The worst damages remained in Jacksonville, which the National Weather Service said was hit by an EF3 tornado with winds of 140 mph. Jacksonville State University took the brunt of the storm, which hit while students are on spring break but left many campus buildings needing major repairs.
