Severe storms ripped across the Deep South on Wednesday and overnight into Thursday, as the threat now moves toward the East Coast.
Severe storms bringing isolated tornadoes and high winds ripped across the Deep South late Wednesday and into Thursday morning, bringing down trees and power lines and damaging homes and businesses as the threat shifted to the East Coast.
"Significant damage" occurred to a nursing home near Jackson-Madison County General Hospital and the Madison County Sheriff’s Office in Jackson, according to Madison County Emergency Management Director Jason Moore.In Nashville, Tennessee, paneling fell five stories from the side of a downtown hotel Wednesday evening and onto a roof of a building below.
Rander P. Adams told the Associated Press that he and his wife, Janice Delores Adams, were in their home near downtown Jackson when severe weather blew through during a tornado warning Wednesday afternoon. He said their lights flashed and a large window exploded just feet from his wife as she tried to open their front door.
The National Weather Service said that tornado would be rated "at least EF-2," which would mean wind speeds reached 111-135 mph.
