'Community has been wiped off the map': At least 2 killed, several injured when tornadoes tear across South

Several people have been injured and at least two people have been killed after an outbreak of severe storms spawned tornadoes that tore a path of destruction across the South.

Emergency officials in Montgomery County said at least two people were killed when a tornado with winds of over 100 mph ripped through the area.

Christina Thornton is the director of the Montgomery City-County Emergency Management Agency. Two people were killed when trees fell on their homes.

There is a way to watch Fox weather.

Christina Thornton is the director of Montgomery County's Emergency Management Agency. The shelter where we provide a safe place for our community was where we were at the time.

There have been many different injuries in the county.

Due to felled trees blocking roads in the area, search and rescue operations are taking a little longer.

It looks like a small community has been wiped off the map. When you look across the field, and you know that there were homes there the day before, it's really sad.

Even though tornadoes can cause a lot of damage at any time of day, they are more likely to turn deadly after dark as they are more difficult to spot, and those in harm's way may not be aware of the danger.

Daytime tornadoes are more likely to kill.

There were more injuries reported in the South after severe storms and tornadoes moved through.

Several animals were killed and four people were seriously injured in a possible tornado in Louisiana on Tuesday.

There is damage from storms in the south.

Jack McKeithen, chief deputy at the Caldwell Parish Sheriff's office, said that one of the homes was damaged by the storms. He's lost all his stuff. He doesn't know what he's going to do, he's devastated. He's thankful he wasn't hurt really badly.

Thirty tornadoes have been reported from Louisiana to Mississippi to Alabama since Tuesday afternoon. The exact number of tornadoes that touched down will be determined by the National Weather Service.

As the same line of storms sweeps east, the threat of damaging storms will continue in the South.
