The Southeast picked up the pieces on Monday after deadly tornadoes tore through the region, killing more people in one weekend than in all of last year. At least 41 twisters ravaged Georgia Mississippi, and Alabama, killing 19 people and destroying homes, CNN meteorologists reported. In 2016, tornadoes left 17 people dead across the country.
The barreling twisters left people stunned and communities devastated. They reminded one survivor in Georgia of a scene from a horror movie. When the howling winds subsided, the landscape was dotted with overturned cars, debris and scores of damaged mobile homes.
