Tornado in western Georgia injures at least 5; Gov. Kemp declares state of emergency

ATLANTA — At least one radar-confirmed tornado caused severe damage in west Georgia Sunday morning, leaving five people injured and others trapped in homes as trees were uprooted and toppled onto houses and vehicles.

Residents were also warned to be cautious when it was discovered that a tiger enclosure at a local safari park had been damaged and one of two was missing.

None of the injuries reported was life-threatening, and three of the victims have been released from the hospital, Troup County Emergency Management Agency Director Zac Steele said during a news conference Sunday afternoon. There were no fatalities.
