15 dead as USA southern storms rage on — Georgia Mississippi Tornadoes

The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for most of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia as a squall line moves eastward across the northern Panhandle.

Howden told AP all the deaths were related to severe weather but could not specify whether tornadoes were the cause. Central Florida was under a tornado watch until 10 p.m. According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, isolated severe weather is possible in the Beaufort County starting Saturday, especially later in the day.

Severe weather also injured more than 50 others and damaged about 480 homes in Mississippi.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is collecting reports of damage from across the southeastern part of the United States, including Florida.

On Saturday, the main storm system was moving over Texas and Oklahoma. The first batch of storms seems likely Saturday morning, sometime between 5 a.m. and noon, based on the high-resolution North American Mesoscale model.

But within a few minutes the storm had passed and their home was mostly unscathed, save for a carport that collapsed atop two cars.

A “high risk” severe weather outlook has been issued by the NOAA’s Storm Prediction Centre for Tallahassee, Albany and Jacksonville, with moderate warnings extending further out. Forecast models are indicating the strongest storms developing in South Alabama again, but I’m seeing some indications of possible hail.

Nearly all of the rest of the state has a slight risk, which means scattered severe storms will be possible.

Photos shared on social media show a man taking in the sheer destruction of the 48-hour storm and hanging his head in disbelief.

The severe weather could extend to central Florida and SC into Sunday evening, menacing population centers in Jacksonville, Gainesville and Tallahassee in Florida; and Savannah and Albany in Georgia, NWS said.
