"It's a tragic situation." The EF-4 tornado with winds of 170 mph cut through a nearly one-mile-wide path that stretched over at least 24 miles through the small rural town of Beauregard, Alabama, near the border with Georgia. Officials now believe the overall track of tornadoes Sunday extended 70 miles across the two states. Armando 'A.J.' Hernandez, 6 The youngest fatality was 6-year-old Armando "A.J." Hernandez, whose mother Kayla Melton called the "sweetest little boy." Hernandez sang in his first-grade class musical just two days before the tornado.  Opelika Fire Chief Byron Prather Jr. said Melton, the boy's mother, rushed to the scene Sunday in distress. “She just said her child was swept from the father’s arms,” Prather said.
