A street sign is bent at a severe angle from a Christmas Day tornado as residents clean up and assess the damage Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2012 in Mobile, Ala. With only a handful of injuries and no deaths reported statewide from the storms, the head of the state's emergency response said it was difficult to fathom how the toll wasn't greater.
Severe Weather Expert, Dr. Greg Forbes, has estimated a preliminary count of 28 tornadoes from this outbreak, including 2 tornado reports from the day after Christmas in eastern North Carolina.
An EF3 tornado has been confirmed in Pearl River County, Miss., which equals the strongest tornado ever recorded on Christmas Day.
