Tornadoes are wreaking havoc in the southern United States, causing
Mercedes-Benz and
Toyota to put the brakes on production at each of their respective Alabama manufacturing facilities. Mercedes-Benz builds
GL-Class,
M-Class and
R-Class vehicles in Tuscaloosa, while Toyota's Huntsville plant produces V6 and V8 engines for the
Tundra and
Tacoma pickup trucks and the
Sequoia sport utility vehicle.
Both facilities are closed at the moment, and power outages are affecting many areas in the South. Reps for Toyota and Mercedes have stated that their plants will remain closed through the weekend.
