Violent storms killed one person in Texas and another in Georgia on Tuesday as hail pelted communities and high winds knocked trees into power poles elsewhere in the South.
Carter Infinger, chairman of the Bryan County Commission, said some buildings in the Pembroke area were damaged, but he wasn't sure if there was more widespread destruction. He said cellphone service was down in parts of the county. Gage Moore, 23, of Midway, Georgia, was driving home from work Tuesday evening on Interstate 16 in the county where Pembroke is located when his fiancée called to tell him she heard tornado sirens. About two minutes later, Moore said, he looked up to see a towering twister looming to the left of the highway. Moore said he pulled over and stopped his car behind an overpass, then took cellphone video of the funnel cloud churning across the interstate.
