Two tigers escaped from an animal park in Georgia after tornadoes struck the area — but officials say the big cats were soon recaptured.
Flood and tornado watches and warnings also were in place across much of Mississippi and Alabama on Monday.
Violent tornadoes have left a path of destruction across the South, and residents were preparing for another potentially catastrophic round of storms days after at least 25 people were killed in Mississippi. One man in Alabama also died. Amid Friday's devastating storms, which hit one of the poorest regions in the U.S., houses were torn from foundations and entire blocks were wiped out, leaving hundreds of people displaced.President Joe Biden, who called the damage "heartbreaking," issued an emergency declaration for Mississippi early Sunday, making federal funding available to the counties that were hit the hardest Friday night.Contributing: Susan Miller, John Bacon, Jorge L.
