Strong storms sweeping through the South have left at least two people dead as the severe weather dropped trees and spawned dozens of tornadoes from Mississippi to South Carolina.
In Georgia, there were reports of two tornadoes and one person killed Tuesday as the storms blew through. Bryan County Coroner Bill Cox confirmed the death but didn’t have any details about the victim or how they died.
Bryan County Fire and Emergency Services said earlier that tornado debris had trapped some people in their homes. Bryan County is located near Savannah.
Mary Edwards was driving on Interstate 16 in Georgia not far from Savannah when she saw a tornado ahead.
The twister appeared just minutes after Edwards received an alert on her phone for a tornado warning.
“To see it right before you, it’s humbling. It’s exciting, it’s majestic, and you really get that sense of mortality. You surrender,” she said.
The other known storm death occurred in East Texas where a middle-aged man in an RV was killed Tuesday morning in the community of Whitehouse, southeast of Tyler, when a tree fell on the vehicle, the Smith County emergency management coordinator said.
The victim’s name was not released. The county was assessing damage to the area after reports of several trees down on homes and trees on roads, the coordinator, Jay Brooks, said.
At least three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries in Allendale County in South Carolina, a spokesperson for the South Carolina Emergency Management Division said. Brandon LaVorgna added there were no known storm deaths.
A few dozen homes and businesses in the county on the Georgia border were damaged, LaVorgna said.
The Storm Prediction Center said there were 35 tornado reports from Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina as of 10:40 p.m. ET.

The guy on the porch WTF get in the basement 😨
If my car was being pummeled by a tornado I don't think I'd keep driving.
And this is where I call home! Upstate SC weather packs a punch! 👍🤣
I live in Anderson South Carolina that was literally coming towards my town we were lucky.
I'm always so blessed to live in a place where we don't get these.❤
1:40 How is that we can hear the ambulance going by, but not the huge tornado ripping everything apart at it goes by???? 🤔
MORE to come… I'm sure it got THAT white RACIST WOMAN AND MAN IN GEORGIA that waZ messing with ME GRRRRR 🧚🏾♀️
When a tornado comes right at you, you get in your basement or bathroom or wherever you can hide. You definitely DO NOT grab the camera and start filming while still outside.
That being said… thanks for the video.
That 2nd footage the guy recording the whole tornado taking his roof, what a brave man.
This type of videos you uploaded is awesome
I am just seeing this video, where in SCarolina was this? Those poor ppl. I hope everyone survived.
Whats about the special video wich you told us about? Im All excited waiting for it 😁
Its crazy that some of these places don't have sirens. Absolutely nuts.
The Tesla cam was surreal omg
Yes, wicked tornado, absolutely. Very un-nerving phenomenon. That fantastic powerful shape of ears or horns, can't describe the chills .
Clearing on the left thru the clouds.
Flips me out.
Praying for y'all to get all the help you need. Love from Texas where we were barely missed by a tornado recently.
Its a darn crazy how much damage one Tornado can do and how fast the Wind Speed can be ffs Wonder if there will be a EF 6 scale Tornado in some day bcoz of Global Warming? 🤔 Try to keep in safe guys ✌️
Oh my gosh iam so sorry for everyone prayers 🙏to all of them very good videos of all over
Imagine if Libetards move down south then get handed their asses by a tornado 😂😂😂❤
That was some of the best non chaser footage I've seen in a long time. When that house came apart while the filmer was standing on the porch was INSANE!
Stay safe everyone.
I do not remember it ever storming when my sons and I lived in Georgia.
The tornado alley is scary this year.
That clip with the guy on his porch while the roof of the house gets blown off right in front of him will go down as one of the greatest tornado clips of all time
As someone currently homeless from a direct hit from the strongest part of last year’s midnight EF-4, thank you for sharing. We never got to see the one that got us.
I appreciate the prayer at the end
Georgia is my home state, but luckily I was far from these areas.
As much as I'd love to witness a tornado in real life (clearly I have an unhealthy obsession with them), I'd be terrified shitless if/when I eventually do one day!
Mis fuerzas para todos dios los bendiga a todos
I don't understand derstand these stupid people outside and driving through it?! Seriously??
the thought of being stuck outside in an open flat area with one of these funnels just standing there is the stuff of nightmares.
That last damage shot looked more intense than ef3
These ratings have not been confirmed. Please refrain from title. I've been in contact with NWS Charleston and they said EF,4 rating is being considered.
