Two people were killed by falling trees and tens of thousands were left without power as severe storms rolled through the South over the weekend.

The severe storms uprooted trees and brought down power lines, leading to heavy rains, hail, and strong winds as they moved across the area. As reported by poweroutage.us, nearly 150,000 people in southern states, from Texas to South Carolina, faced power outages Sunday morning.

In Mississippi, Governor Tate Reeves reported a fatality in Lafayette County where a tree landed on a vehicle. Several tornado warnings were announced across northern Mississippi on Saturday.

Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp confirmed a death in Georgia on Saturday night. According to a representative from the Georgia Emergency Management, the fatality happened in Banks County when a tree toppled onto a vehicle.

“Join us in praying for the loved ones of a Georgian tragically lost tonight due to the severe storms,” Kemp wrote on social media.

The National Weather Service said a confirmed EF-1 tornado damaged multiple homes and injured one person Friday in the city of Van Buren in western Arkansas.

Another round of severe weather is expected to push through the southern Plains and the South on Sunday evening and Monday. The highest risk for severe weather is in southwest Oklahoma and northern Texas.

The National Weather Service said destructive wind gusts of up to 100 miles per hour, giant hail up to five inches in diameter and a few tornadoes are likely.
