At least two people were killed in the Florida Panhandle after a line of severe storms packing isolated tornadoes and high winds ripped across the Deep South. The storm toppled trees and power lines and left homes and businesses damaged.
The worst of the weather Thursday morning appeared to be at the southern end of the storm front, which was expected to bring heavy rain and high winds all along the U.S. East Coast later in the day. Much of the Florida Panhandle was under a tornado watch, according to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee.
Elsewhere, a warehouse roof collapsed as the storms moved through Southaven, Mississippi, near Memphis, police said. The building had been evacuated and no injuries were reported. Adams said the storm toppled trees in a nearby park, and a large tree across the street from their house split in half. “We were blessed,” he said. “Instead of falling toward the house, it fell the other way.”
“Our first responders have completed door-to-door searches, and we believe everyone has been accounted for,” Sprouse said.
