People were said to be trapped inside their homes after a tornado hit West Point, Georgia, Sunday morning.
Drone video shows houses destroyed after a likely tornado moved through the western Georgia town.
Images from West Point show roofs completely ripped off their structures, and large trees snapped in half as they fell onto homes.
“Most of the damage is around the West Point city limits, and it appears the path of destruction goes East toward Meriwether County,” the Troup County Sheriff’s Office said.
Officials are urging residents to avoid travel within the area, so crews can work to clear the area.
And if it wasn’t already a wild morning for the state, officials at an animal safari in Pine Mountain said that two tigers escaped due to storm damage at their location.
Following Sunday morning’s severe storms, Gov. Brian Kemp issued a state of emergency for the affected counties.
Sunday morning’s storms come after a devastating weekend for the Southeast as tornadoes killed more than two dozen in Mississippi and Alabama.
