Keith McKinley, CEO/president of the $14 million Infirmary Federal Credit Union, said the tornado that hit Mobile, Ala., on Christmas Day missed the credit union's Spring Hill Avenue branch by about 50 to 75 yards.

"It (tornado) took a northeast track and we just happened to be a little south of that track, so we are very fortunate," McKinley said Wednesday. "Spring Hill Avenue is a main road into downtown Mobile and about three or four blocks are not accessible at this time. Across the street there are windows blown out in buildings and there are trees down."

This was the second tornado that hit Mobile in six days. The first tornado was reported Dec. 20.
