A swath of tornadoes is working its way now through Louisiana and into the rest of the Deep South.
"There are pads where houses used to be and we're looking for the house," Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator said, according to KTBS.
Deputies are going house to house, knocking on doors to check on residents, even using cadaver dogs to assist their search. Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee are on storm and tornado watches throughout the night, and counties in Alabama, Georgia and northern Florida have been put on alert for Wednesday. Tornado watches are in effect for more than 1.5 million people as midnight approaches.
As for the severity of Wednesday's storms, the National Weather Service stated that"damaging winds and tornadoes are possible" from the southern coast near the Gulf of Mexico all the way up into Tennessee.
