WASHINGTON (AP) — A powerful storm system swept across the South, bringing heavy rain, tornadoes and flooding to parts of the region. The storm system, which originated in the Gulf of Mexico, spawned multiple tornadoes across southern states, including Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. The National Weather Service issued severe thunderstorm warnings and flash flood watches for large portions of the South.
In Mississippi, a powerful tornado touched down near the town of Yazoo City, causing significant damage to homes and businesses. Emergency crews were dispatched to the area to assist residents and assess the extent of the damage. Meanwhile, heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding in parts of Alabama and Georgia, with several roads and bridges closed due to rising waters. Officials urged residents to exercise caution and avoid areas prone to flooding. The storm system is expected to move eastward over the next few days, bringing heavy rain and potential for severe weather to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions
