Shannon Longworth: Those in the Southeast are *still* dealing with the after-effects of severe storms that hit from Texas to South Carolina Tuesday.
The most damage is in Texas and Georgia.
More than 12-thousand people in the two states remain without electricity as of this morning, according Power Outage dot U-S — which tracks outages nationwide.
Julie Trawick | Early County, Georgia resident: “There was a power line laying across the road and they said there was a tornado that touched down in this path. And the top of a pine tree fell into the front part of my parents’ house and there’s a hole in the front and both of the upper bedrooms in the front, they’ve got water in them. It’s overwhelming, this can be fixed, everybody’s safe, nobody got hurt, and I’m very blessed about that.”
Shannon Longworth: Not everyone was so lucky.
One woman died in Bryant County, Georgia Tuesday night…that’s just west of Savannah.
There’s been a curfew in effect there to prevent trespassing into tornado-damaged areas.
Meanwhile over in East Texas — a 71-year-old man died when storm winds knocked a tree onto his home.
Gary Richey | Whitehouse, Texas Resident: “Great guy. He was a cowboy and anytime you needed help he would help you. He was the best neighbor you could ask for. We’ll miss him.”
Shannon Longworth: The Southeast isn’t out of the woods just yet, though — more tornadoes expected *are* Wednesday.
Parts of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee are at the most risk for severe weather.
