13 Alabama Families Displaced After Severe Weather Damages Homes

June 20, 2016

Storms moving through Huntsville, Ala., damaged three apartment buildings severely enough to displace residents.

Winter Park Apartments property manager Alejandra Chavez tells WHNT-TV that 13 families couldn’t stay in their homes because of roof damage that buildings sustained from storms on June 15.

Huntsville Fire Chief David Whitman says firefighters are unsure about the structural integrity of the buildings after strong winds damaged the roofs of three of the buildings.

Chavez says residents will be moved to another property once it’s safe to go in and move their things. It’s unclear if any of the displaced residents will be able to return to their homes.

The Red Cross was on the scene following the storms to provide assistance to families.

No one at the apartment complex was hurt.
