Four dead after severe weather in Georgia, Alabama en SouthCarolina
Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms have been damaging parts of the South, including Auburn and Montgomery, Ala., and areas north of Atlanta, since early Wednesday morning. The threat continues in northern Florida overnight.

At least four people have been killed as a result of the severe weather in Georgia and South Carolina.

Three of the deaths were reported south of Rock Hill, S.C., as a tornado damaged three homes Wednesday evening.

According to the National Weather Service, the Forsyth County Fire Department in Georgia reported that one person was killed when a tree fell onto a vehicle Wednesday afternoon. Forsyth County is located north-northeast of Atlanta.

**As of 1 a.m. EST, an extensive line of severe thunderstorms had pushed off the coast of the Carolinas, but continues to rattle northern Florida. These thunderstorms will continue pushing eastward overnight, threatening lives and property.

The strongest of thunderstorms can continue to spawn tornadoes, while many others remain capable of producing damaging winds, dangerous lightning and torrential rain. **

Local law enforcement spotted a funnel with possible debris near Laurens in Upstate South Carolina late Wednesday afternoon. About an hour later, a storm spotter reported "swirling debris" at his house farther northeast near Monarch Mills in Upstate South Carolina with minor damage and a tree down.

An unconfirmed tornado near Gordontown in central North Carolina reportedly damaged or destroyed homes and commercial buildings this evening.

YORK, S.C. -- Search teams combed through rural South Carolina on Thursday morning after a storm swept through the Southeast, killing five people and causing injuries in several states.

At least three people died and five others were taken to hospitals after a storm hit York County in South Carolina, according to the sheriff's office.

"This is considered a search-and-rescue operation at this time," said Lt. Mike Baker of the county sheriff's office.

The county coroner's office said authorities are unsure whether the number of deaths will go up.

A fourth person died in Forsyth County, Georgia, when a tree fell on a car, the fire department said.

Downed trees, damaged homes and buildings, and power outages were reported across Georgia and Alabama.

North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue confirmed one death in the state. An apparent tornado south of Winston-Salem damaged "multiple structures," according to the North Carolina emergency management.

Four people were injured in Mississippi, but their injuries were not critical, according to the National Weather Service. Homes were also reported damaged near Jones, Mississippi, the National Weather Service said.

A possible tornado demolished homes and vehicles near Opelika, Alabama, the weather service said. It was not immediately known whether anyone was injured.

Eastern Alabama's Lee County received "significant reports of damage," said Rita Smith, a public information officer with the county Emergency Management. "We've got reports of damage at an apartment complex, structures at a lake, mobile homes and trees down," she said.

In Auburn, Alabama, Jim Goldberg said at least half a dozen trees fell on his property and a nearby home's roof was damaged.

In the west Alabama city of Demopolis, damage was reported to roofs downtown and a boat was overturned at a dealership, the National Weather Service reported.

Earlier, a suspected tornado in Louisiana's Tangipahoa Parish moved a home with four people inside off its foundation, but no one was hurt, according to the National Weather Service.
