Storms Hit Midwest and South

Powerful storms spawned tornadoes that killed dozens as they ripped through the South and Midwest, flattening towns and turning churches into shelters.

At least 28 people were killed: 15 in Indiana, 12 in Kentucky and one in Ohio.

Rescue workers combed through rubble overnight for dozens believed missing after the storms struck Friday, according to state and local authorities.

In Tennessee, there were reports of possible tornado touchdowns in nine counties, according to Jeremy Heidt, the state's emergency management spokesman. At least 29 people were injured across the state, said Dean Flener, also with TEMA.

By early Saturday morning, as the storms moved through northern Georgia, a tornado was believed to have struck in north Georgia's Paulding County, damaging two elementary schools, a small local airport and an undetermined number of homes, said Ashley Henson, a sheriff's spokesman.

Dodging Tornadoes in Georgia

As storms marched across North Georgia late Friday night, the National Weather Service extended tornado warnings across the northern tier of the metro Atlanta area. By 10 p.m., most of the storm activity appeared to be passing east out of the area.

A tornado warning remained in effect until 10:30 p.m. for northern Barrow, southeastern Forsyth, northwestern Gwinnett, southern Hall and western Jackson counties.

At about 9:30 p.m., Doppler radar was picking up airborne debris confirming a tornado near Suwanee, moving east at 40 mph.

As of 10 p.m., police reported trees down and power out on Roswell Road at East Piedmont Road in Cobb County and on Old Canton Road in Roswell. Cherokee County had flooding on Trickum Road, and Alpharetta had tree debris on southbound Ga. 400 at Windward Highway.

In Paulding County, Homer Cochran, Mount Olivet Loop and Wayside Lane were closed due to downed power lines and debris. There also was some structure damage but no injuries reported yet, according to Paulding Fire Rescue.

The threat of storms will continue overnight, Channel 2 Meteorologist Brad Nitz said.
