A southeastern Alabama was experiencing a black out on Saturday after a possible tornado swept through the downtown neighborhoods and caused homes to collapse.
Video from the scenes showed overturned cars and toppled trees that hit power lines that afternoon, prompting emergency responders to do a door-to-door search of homes before dusk fell.
One person was reported with minor injuries but Wetumpka officials were not risking it after two confirmed tornadoes in Rankin County earlier.

Law enforcement enforced a curfew from 6pm to 6am after the extreme weather hit around 2.45pm.
'We have several buildings downtown with serious structural damage,' Sheriff Bill Franklin said. 'People may not be able to see that damage. The buildings are in danger of collapsing. We don't want anymore injuries than we already have.'
While 25 of those buildings were homes, the Montgomery Advertiser reported Mayor Jerry Willis said the senior center near the river and the police department were among the ones damaged.

The central Alabama city of Wetumpka is about 15 miles (24 kilometers) northeast of Montgomery.
After the intense storm hit, the First Baptist Church and First Presbyterian Church was severely damaged.
Services on Sunday were scheduled to be shifted to Wetumpka Civic Center for many places of worship affected on the west side of Coosa River.
'It's bad, when you love a place as much as we love Wetumpka, to see this devastation,' Willis said. 'We have worked so hard to get here and to see it destroyed like this.
'We don't know God's plan, but we know he is in control. If this had been during the week with schools in session. If it had been Sunday morning with churches at worship, it would have been absolutely devastating as far as injuries and even fatalities. We'll come back. We'll clean up and come back.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
