Three days after a string of tornadoes struck the Southeast, Alabama rescue teams are looking toward recovery and the families of those who died in the storms are preparing to lay their loved ones to rest.Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones told reporters on Tuesday that heavy equipment is being used to clear debris and that the search and rescue mission will soon move to a recovery status.Meanwhile, two corporations are stepping in to pay for the funerals of all 23 tornado victims in Alabama.Lee County Coroner Bill Harris told CNN affiliate WTVM on Tuesday that both corporations wish to remain anonymous."What a wonderful blessing this will be for the families who have lost loved ones! To these corporations we thank you!" the Lee County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook.Four tornadoes hit central Alabama on Sunday, the National Weather Service in Birmingham said. They left a trail of destruction in their path.It looked "as if someone had taken a blade and just scraped the ground," Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said.Harris said that of the 23 people who died in the storms, four were children. Those killed ranged in age from 6 to 89.Some families lose manyFor some, the pain of loss is being felt many times over.Erroll Reese told CNN affiliate WRAL that he lost seven members of his family to the tornadoes, and that at least 30 more now are without a home.Reese told the station in a Monday night interview that fifteen of his family members lived on the same street in a lower middle-class area."It's devastating when you think about it," Reese said. "I was sitting there just a while ago thinking, 'How do you handle this, what do you do, who do you reach out to?' And before I knew it, people were reaching out to me trying to help."In another family, Makitha Griffin lost five of her family members to the tornadoes.Her aunts, Florel Tate Stenson, 63, and Tresia Robinson, 62; her uncles, Henry Lewis Stenson, 65, and Raymond Robinson Jr., 63; and her cousin 38-year-old Eric Jamal Stenson were among the nearly two dozen victims of the tornadoes.A cousin who was in the same house as those killed sustained injuries and is now hospitalized, Griffin said.Since Monday, Griffin has been feeding first responders who are searching for the missing and helping those who lost their homes.She says that growing up, she learned the importance of community."Everybody was still family whether they were related or not," she said. "We gotta help our families."Children among the victimsTaylor Thornton, a fourth grader at Lee-Scott Academy, was also among those killed, Stan Cox, the head of the school, confirmed to CNN after meeting with her parents."Very inquisitive, she loved learning and always contributed in a positive way," Cox said. "People were better because they were with her and now our school feels empty without her."The youngest victim was Armando Hernandez, 6, family member Sara Crisp said.Armando, AJ to his family, was described as "a precious little man that was loved by everyone," and who "was always eager to give hugs and loved his family," according to a post on Facebook by his aunt Tina Melton.Cousins Johnathan Marquez Bowen, 9, and Mykala Waldon, 8, were also killed in the tornado.Johnathan's mother, Shamel Hart, told reporters at a news conference about the loss of two children in the family, according to CNN affiliate WRBL."I did a fireman carry over some trees, and when we got there there was a man in a truck, and he jumped out with a chainsaw and started plowing through trees to make a path for my cousin and me to bring our babies to him. He helped with CPR and transport," cried Hart.State looks to recoveryAs of Tuesday, officials said, the number of missing was seven or eight.Dozens of people were injured, with 77 patients from areas affected by the tornadoes hospitalized on Sunday.Six adult patients remain hospitalized at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, spokeswoman Holly Gainer confirmed to CNN.Four other patients remain hospitalized at East Alabama Medical Center, according to hospital spokesman John Atkinson.Lee County Emergency Management Agency director Kathy Carson told reporters at a Tuesday briefing that there has been an outpouring of offers of assistance. She said authorities are organizing a volunteer reception area for those who want to help.Residents who've lost their homes can get shelter, food and medications, she said."We're here for the citizens. We cannot emphasize enough that we want them to communicate and let us know what they need," Carson said.President Trump said he plans to visit Alabama on Friday."It's a tragic situation but a lot of work is getting done" in tackling the storm damage, he said Tuesday at the White House.The tornadoesThe National Weather Service in Birmingham confirmed that four tornadoes hit central Alabama on Sunday.Tornadoes are measured on the Enhanced Fujita scale from 0 to 5 based on intensity and damage caused.Three of the tornadoes were categorized as EF-1, but the Beauregard-Smiths station in Lee County was an EF-4 with winds of 170 mph.Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has extended the state of emergency that had been issued last month because of tornadoes and severe weather and made a request for a federal major disaster declaration.Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency in Grady, Harris and Talbot counties, in the southern part of the state, where he said almost two dozen homes were destroyed and up to 40 sustained damage. 5495

The smoke is so thick, at times the Cessna airplane had to climb to stay out of it. At times your eyes burn and you close the air vents to keep the cabin habitable. Sometimes it is so bad, it is hard to see how bad it actually is on the ground below.Flying above the Amazon's worst afflicted state (during last week), Rondonia, is exhausting mostly because of the endless scale of the devastation. At first, smoke disguised the constant stream of torched fields, and copses; of winding roads that weaved into nothing but ash. Below, the orange specks of a tiny fire might still rage, but much of the land appeared a mausoleum of the forest that once graced it."This is not just a forest that is burning," said Rosana Villar of Greenpeace, who helped CNN arrange its flight over the damaged and burning areas. "This is almost a cemetery. Because all you can see is death."The stark reality of the destruction is otherworldly: like a vision conjured by an alarmist to warn of what may come if the world doesn't address its climate crisis now. Yet it is real, and here, and now, and below us as we are scorched by the sun above and smoldering land below.Rondonia has 6,436 fires burning so far this year in it, according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE). NASA says the state has become one of the most deforested states in the Amazon. Brazil has 85% more fires burning than this time last year -- up to 80,626 nationwide as of Sunday night.President Jair Bolsonaro, after being scolded, called a liar, and threatened with trade sanctions by some leaders of the G7, declared on Friday he would send 43,000 troops to combat the Amazon's inferno. (He had previously fired the director of INPE for releasing figures he didn't agree with, and in his Friday speech still said the Amazon should be used to enrich Brazil's people).Yet while the Amazonian city of Porto Velho reels from a cloud of smoke that blights its mornings, and from the occasional C130 cargo plane buzzing overhead, the forest around it that we flew over showed no sign of an increased military presence Sunday.The task is enormous, almost insurmountable. In the areas where the smoke is most intense, the sun barely creeps through to shine off the river. I saw one bird in this natural sanctuary in three hours. Flames seem to move in a steadfast line across the savannah, swallowing whole what forest remains in their path.There are the occasional buildings, isolated in the newly created farmland around them. But no signs of human life, just cattle, caught in the swirling clouds and flame. They are often the reason for the fires: the rush to deforest sparked by a growing global market for beef. Cattle need soy grown on the fields, or to graze on the grass, and then become the beef Brazil sells to China, now a trade war with the United States has changed the market.The reason for the fires is disputed, but not that convincingly from this height. Bolsonaro has said that they are part of the usual annual burn, in this, the dry season. But his critics, many of them scientists, have noted the government's policy of encouraging deforestation has boosted both the land clearance that helps fires rage, and given the less scrupulous farmer license to burn.As the rate of land clearance reaches one and a half football fields a minute -- the statistics for the damage done to the forest emulate the incomprehensible mystery of its vanishing beauty -- many analysts fear a tipping point is nearing.The more forest is cleared, the less moisture is held beneath its canopy, and the drier the land gets. The drier the land gets, the more susceptible it is to fire. The more fire, the less forest. A self-fulfilling cycle has already begun. The question is when it becomes irreversible.Brazil is already dealing with the likelihood of permanent changes to its ecology. "The Amazon is extremely fundamental for the water system all over the continent," said Villar from Greenpeace. "So if we cut off the forest we are some years not going to have rain on the south of the country."It is hard to see any claims of future doom as alarmist, when you see skylines rendered invisible by smoke, flames march across the plains like lava, and hear disinterested taxi drivers tell you they have never seen it so bad. The apocalyptic future is here, and it is impatient. 4359

Tropical Storm Karen formed early Sunday, and a tropical storm warning has been issued for St. Vincent and the Grenadines, along with Grenada and its territories, the National Hurricane Center said.Karen is about 105 miles northwest of Grenada, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph, the center said in its latest advisory.A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area.A tropical storm watch has been issued for the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico - including Vieques and Culebra - and the British Virgin Islands, according to the advisory.Karen is forecast to continue moving in a west-northwest direction Sunday, away from the Windward Islands, and move across the eastern Caribbean Sea Sunday night and Monday.The storm could bring enough rain to cause flash flooding and mudslides, especially in mountainous areas, on the Windward and Leeward islands, the center said.Karen is expected to "pass near or over" Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on Tuesday as a tropical storm, the center said.On the other side of the Atlantic, a low pressure system a few hundred miles southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands has a 90% chance of developing into a tropical depression or tropical storm overnight Sunday or Monday, the center said. It's heading "generally westward" over the Atlantic at about 15 to 20 mph.Trinidad and Tobago are no longer under a tropical storm warning, the center said. 1461

This week, an arrest was made in a 20-year double murder case gone cold. The victims were two 17-year-old Alabama girls. The big break for police: results from a DNA ancestry test. Police arrested 45-year-old Coley McCraney through genetic genealogy, which used his DNA to find relatives. Investigators say they were inspired by the arrest of the Golden State Killer back in April, when police used genetic genealogy to link 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo, to at least 13 murders and more than 50 rapes in California during the 70's and 80's. Police used that same technology to arrest men responsible for other unsolved cases that dated back to the 1970’s. "Well over the years, you think about it all the time. I don't think that ever leaves anybody that was working then. It never left your thoughts,” says retired Newport Beach Police Officer Stan Bressler of unsolved cases. So, how are police able to use genetic genealogy results to solve these cases? “We get DNA from a crime scene,” says Ellen Greytak of the first step. Greytak works with Parabon NanoLabs, which helped police arrest suspects in 1,000 years of cold cases. She says her company uploads the DNA to the genealogy database GEDmatch, which is separate from companies like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.“So, they have over a million people in that database and what's returned is basically a list,” Greytak explains. “Here are the people…who share the most DNA with your unknown person.” Then, genetic genealogists step in, building family trees and then narrowing down suspects based on information. “So we know where the crime happened; we know when it happened,” Greytak says. “That limits the age range. You know the person might have lived nearby, but not always.” The information is then handed off to police, who often conduct a traditional DNA match, before making an arrest. Still, some groups are concerned about privacy. However, Greytak says anyone can choose to opt out.“They choose to either set their data to private in GEDmatch, so they're not part of searches, or to take their data down. You know they have full control over that,” Greytak explains. 2151
