Tornadoes, wildfires and blinding dust sweep across US as massive storm leaves at least 32 dead

Politico  

Coroner Jim Akers of nearby Butler County described the “unrecognizable home” where one man was killed as “just a debris field.” “The floor was upside down,” he said. Early Sunday morning, the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency used its social media accounts to repost a National Weather Service tornado watch for parts of southeast Georgia. In response to the watch, which warns of isolated tornadoes and hail and gusts of 50 to 70 mph, Kemp posted a note saying his family was “praying for all those impacted by this storm system and those still in its path.” “We will continue to work closely with state and local officials to respond to damage and assess any needs following this weather event,” Kemp wrote. Significant tornadoes continued late Saturday, with the region at highest risk stretching from eastern Louisiana and Mississippi through Alabama, western Georgia and the Florida panhandle, the Storm Prediction Center said.
