Severe storms have battered parts of the U.S. Southeast, triggering tornado warnings, flash flooding, and power outages. The storm system, responsible for one fatality in Mississippi, wreaked havoc in the New Orleans area, demolishing buildings and inundating streets. As the system moved eastward, it continued to generate flash flood and tornado warnings in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Early Thursday, over 100,000 customers were without power nationwide, with Georgia bearing the brunt of the outages. Forecasters are now focusing on parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia as potential areas for tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail.
