Georgia Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Lisa Janak says four people have been killed in Georgia, two of them, a father and son who died when a tree fell onto a home in Butts County.

Dodge and Colquitt counties each had a death. Tennessee and Mississippi also each have reported a death related to the storms.
