GENEVA, Ala. (WTVY) – An apparent tornado caused damage in the downtown area of Geneva, with reports of less serious damage elsewhere across southeast Alabama.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got damage and need people to stay away from the affected area,\u201d Geneva County EMA director Brian Smith told WTVY News4. He said, to his knowledge, no one was injured.<\/p>\n
Damage in Geneva occurred in the downtown area, with downed trees, power lines and structural damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were lucky that it was Sunday because businesses were closed,\u201d Smith said. \u201cHad it been a weekday there would have been more people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Smith said he received damage reports in the Eunola and Flat Creek areas but had not yet surveyed the area. <\/p>\n
Emergency crews reported that a home in the western part of Houston County received damage.<\/p>\n
Downed trees blocked roadways, and there was at least one report of a chicken house damaged by high winds.<\/p>\n
In Coffee County, EMA Director Grant Lyons said a tree fell on one home but nobody was hurt. <\/p>\n
