At least 32 people have been killed by tornadoes and severe storms that struck the South between Sunday and Monday. There were more than 40 reports of tornadoes across Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and into the Carolinas.

At least 11 of the deaths occurred in Mississippi, with four dead in Jefferson Davis County, two in Jones, two in Lawrence, and one each in Carroll, Panola and Walthall counties. The two victims in Lawrence County were Sheriff's Deputy Robert Ainsworth and his wife, Paula.

Hundreds of homes and businesses were destroyed overnight across the South and more than 840,000 homes and businesses remained without power in 13 states as of 3:30 p.m. EDT Monday, according to poweroutage.us.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves declared a state of emergency Sunday night after two long-track tornadoes followed similar paths across parts of the state. The town of Soso, Mississippi, saw substantial damage.

A state of emergency is also in effect in Louisiana. Earlier Sunday, in Monroe, Louisiana, about 300 homes were damaged when a tornado struck the town. There were no immediate reports of major injuries.

In Georgia, severe weather blew a house onto State Route 74 between Yatesville and Thomaston. The house, which is completely intact with no one inside, is one of many large pieces of debris blown onto the highway due to the storm. The Georgia State Patrol is assisting the Upson County Sheriff’s Office with cleanup.
