2 young brothers among 9 killed in destructive tornado outbreak across southern, mid-Atlantic US

An outbreak of severe weather, including tornadoes, tore across the southern and eastern United States over the weekend, causing at least nine deaths, dozens of injuries and widespread destruction.

Tornado and severe thunderstorm watches and warnings were issued from Texas to as far north as Massachusetts from early Saturday into Monday.

There have been 41 tornadoes confirmed and surveyed by the National Weather Service, including 3 EF3, 10 EF2, 16 EF1, and 12 EF0 tornadoes in eight states from Texas to Pennsylvania.

At least nine people are dead, including three children, after severe weather slammed the region. The fatalities occurred in communities across the South and mid-Atlantic.

At least one person was killed and several more injured in Monroe County, Mississippi, after a large tornado swept through the town of Hamilton on Saturday night. Preliminary reports show an EF2 tornado hit Hamilton with winds of 130 mph. Another tornado track in northern Monroe County near Greenwood Springs is still being investigated.

Monroe County Road Manager Sonny Clay confirmed one death at a news conference on Sunday, according to WVTM. The victim, a 95-year-old man named Roy Ratliff, was killed when a tornado brought a tree down onto his home, according to the Associated Press. A total of 19 people were taken to hospitals for treatment.

In Pollock, Texas, two children were killed after a tree fell on and crushed a vehicle in which they were passengers during a severe thunderstorm. According to Angelina County Sheriff’s Captain Alton Lenderman, 3-year-old Jace Creel and his older brother, 8-year-old Dilynn Creel, were in a car with their parents on DeWitt Hinson Road when the tree came crashing down. The parents survived the tragedy, according to a GoFundMe page set up for the family.

Flash flooding caused road closures and damage in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, Saturday. Two people drowned in floodwaters in the parish, Deputy Glenn Springfield told the AP. Thirteen-year-old Sebastian Omar Martinez was found dead in a drainage canal Bawcomville, near Monroe, after drowning during the flash flooding, according to Fox10. Motorists were being told to avoid travel as several cars had become stranded in floodwaters.

Two additional deaths were confirmed in Texas on Sunday. One woman died after suffering critical injuries on Saturday after a tornado ripped through Caddo Mound State Historical Site, the AP said. Additionally, one person was killed in the town of Weches, located in neighboring Houston County.

More than a dozen people were injured in Alto, Texas, when a tornado damaged several structures, including the gym of the town's elementary school.

One fatality was reported in Alabama. A Jefferson County worker was killed early Sunday when he was struck by a vehicle after trying to remove a downed tree from a road, AL.com reported.

A 78-year-old woman was killed early Monday morning after being pinned under a tree that came crashing down on her home in Stafford, Virginia, according to WJLA. An 82-year-old man who was also sleeping in the home suffered non life-threatening injuries.

The storm struck the southern U.S. along the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. States, including Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, were among the hardest hit.

The storm reports spread up the East Coast on Sunday, affecting states from Florida up to upstate New York and Massachusetts. Midwestern states, including Ohio and Indiana, were also burdened with the storm’s wrath.

The severe weather was not only significant in terms of scale and the area impacted, but also in terms of the damages that occurred throughout the weekend, as cracked roads, downed power lines and trees, and flattened buildings were left behind the outbreak.
