A string of severe storms ripped through the Southeast on Wednesday leaving a trail of death and destruction. Tornadoes have been reported in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina. As of this time there have been no confirmations of the tornadoes touching down or their intensities but there are many eye witness accounts to back the claims. In Alabama a tornado was seen just outside of the Auburn University, fortunately there were no injuries reported but some trailer homes were damaged. Unfortunately for those in Mississippi severe storms tore through Jones County where trees were toppled onto houses trapping people; mobile homes were also torn off their foundations. 15 people were reported to have injuries from that cell alone. Unfortunately, today was also a fatal day. The first fatality came from northern Georgia as a tree toppled over onto a SUV. The Upstate of South Carolina was also impacted by these storms. In a rural part of York County, about five miles southwest of Rock Hill there was a reported tornado touching down. At this point of time, three people have been confirmed dead, police are currently going door to door checking on survivors.
Updates will be coming in the morning.
