Severe storms packing isolated tornadoes and high winds are racing across the South, killing two in Florida and leaving scattered damage to buildings.
The worst of the weather Thursday morning appeared to be at the southern end of the storm front, which was expected to bring heavy rain and high winds all along the U.S. East Coast later in the day. Much of the Florida Panhandle was under a tornado watch, according to the National Weather Service in Tallahassee.
Elsewhere, a warehouse roof collapsed as the storms moved through Southaven, Mississippi, near Memphis, police said. The building had been evacuated and no injuries were reported. "The glass broke just as if someone threw a brick through it," he said."I advised her then, 'Let's go to the back of the house.'"
Sprouse said in a statement that one of those critically injured had improved and was in stable condition and the other five were released from a hospital. In northwest Missouri, an EF-1 tornado with wind speeds around 90 mph struck St. Joseph on Tuesday night, damaging two homes.
