(CNN) -- The death toll from a series of violent storms that swept across
the South jumped to 159 after a statewide review by Alabama emergency
management officials Thursday turned up 128 fatalities across the state,
according to a governor's spokeswoman.
.
President Barack Obama announced late Wednesday he had approved Alabama
Gov. Robert Bentley's request for emergency federal assistance, including
search and rescue support.
.
"While we may not know the extent of the damage for days, we will continue
to monitor these severe storms across the country and stand ready to
continue to help the people of Alabama and all citizens affected by these
storms," Obama said in a statement.
.
At least one strong tornado swept through Tuscaloosa, Alabama, leaving
dozens of roads impassable and destroying hundreds of homes and
businesses.
.
"It literally obliterated blocks and blocks of the city," Mayor Walter
Maddox said, describing Tuscaloosa's infrastructure as "decimated."
.
Witnesses also reported tornado touchdowns in Birmingham, Alabama.
.
"It looked like it was probably a mile wide," Birmingham Mayor William
Bell said.
.
The northwest corner of the city was particularly devastated, he said,
with hundreds injured and many others missing.
.
Red Cross spokesman Chris Osborne said the number of ambulances on the
street in Birmingham, "is just like taxicabs in New York."
.
"It's just back and forth to area hospitals," Osborne said. "It's really
just an incredible sight to see."
.
Osborne said Pratt City and Pleasant Grove were among the hardest hit
areas.
.
"It's just bare land, debris everywhere," Cierra Brown, of Jefferson
County, Alabama, told CNN affiliate WBMA about her devastated
neighborhood. "There's no house."
.
"My bathroom is across the street," Talesha Oliver told WBMA.
