(CNN) Residents in the Southeast and Midwest were dealing with the damage left behind by a system of storms that barreled through, bringing high winds, hail and lots of rain.

The severe weather also moved into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, according to the National Weather Service.

It tallied numerous reports of hail and high winds and listed nine possible tornadoes -- seven in Georgia, one in Indiana and one in South Carolina.

The agency's Storm Prediction Center said several reports included word of damaged houses, flying roofs and downed trees.

As of early Thursday morning, there were no more tornado warnings -- which indicate tornadoes are imminent.
