Officials in the central and southern US are currently assessing the damage caused by reported tornadoes and powerful storms that resulted in the tragic deaths of at least three individuals on Wednesday. As residents from East Texas to South Carolina prepare for a severe weather threat on Thursday, the situation remains critical.
More than 9 million people in northern and central Georgia, southeastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina are under a tornado watch until 1:00 p.m., according to the Storm Prediction Center. Cities such as Atlanta, Macon in Georgia, and Chattanooga in Tennessee are included in the watch.
