US Governor Urges Prayers As Storms Kill In South
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent, Worthy News
WASHINGTON (Worthy News) – The governor of the U.S. state of Georgia has urged prayers after several people were killed by falling trees and tens of thousands were left without power as severe storms rolled through the South over the weekend.
“Join us in praying for the loved ones of a Georgian tragically lost tonight due to the severe storms,” Georgia Governor Brian Kemp wrote on social media.
Besides Georgia, at least one more person was killed in the state of Mississippi, its Governor Tate Reeves said, adding that the person was killed in Lafayette County when a tree fell on a vehicle.
The storms downed trees and powerlines and brought heavy rainfall, hail, and gusty winds as they pushed through the region.
Nearly 150,000 people across southern states from Texas to South Carolina were without power Sunday morning, according to authorities.
The National Weather Service said a tornado damaged multiple homes and injured one person Friday in the city of Van Buren in western Arkansas.
Local authorities said another round of severe weather was due to push through the southern Plains and the South late Sunday evening and Monday.
The highest risk for severe weather is in southwest Oklahoma and northern Texas.
The National Weather Service said destructive wind gusts of up to 100 miles (160 kilometers) per hour, giant hail up to five inches in diameter, and a few tornadoes are likely.
