BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Federal officials say more than 90 percent of the millions of cubic yards of debris left by the April 27 tornadoes have been removed.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Friday that the storms left more than 10 million cubic yards of debris.
FEMA says an effort by volunteers and local, state and federal agencies has gotten rid of the great majority of the debris.
FEMA says that to date, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has hauled away more than 4.7 million cubic yards of right-of-way, waterway and private property debris and deposited it in landfills. Private contractors and crews in counties and cities have removed an additional 4.3 million cubic yards.
