REUTERS/Sam Wolfe(Reuters) – The threat of severe weather and tornadoes loomed again over the U.S. Southeast Wednesday. This was just a day following a swarming of twisters that destroyed buildings, uprooted trees, and left at least one person dead.
The National Weather Service stated that strong thunderstorms could threaten 25 million people living in Alabama and Tennessee as well as Georgia, Georgia, and Florida. They can bring heavy hail, wind gusts of up to 60 miles an hour and golf-ball-sized hail.
According to the weather agency, a tornado watch was also issued for seventy-five counties in central Georgia. This warning is issued when weather conditions make it possible for a tornado to strike. It will remain in force until 10 p.m. EDT.
According to Bill Bunting (chief of forecast operations for the weather service), two tornado warnings were issued in Georgia’s far southwest as strong storms continue to intensify.
“It’s a serious situation and one that folks need to take serious,” he said.
It is not unusual to witness tornado dangers in the South during spring. However, March saw a record number of twisters, breaking possibly the 2017 monthly record of 192. Although the NWS is still waiting to compile its final count, it has begun. The threat of tornadoes is often greater in April.
WXIA TV reported that a tornado believed to have struck Bryan County Courthouse in Georgia on Tuesday left one woman dead.

According to ABC News, one person was killed in Johnson County by tornadoes in Alabama, South Carolina, and Texas.
