NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Latest on Tropical Depression Cindy:

Forecasters are trying to determine how many tornadoes touched down in Alabama as remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy moved north from the Gulf Coast.

The National Weather Service says an EF-2 twister with winds as strong as 120 mph struck just outside Birmingham on Thursday. Several businesses were damaged and at least four people were hurt.
