The city of Newnan, Georgia, southwest of Atlanta, suffered “heavy damage” from deadly tornadoes that swept through from Alabama overnight, a tweet from the city said early Friday.
The damage included destroyed homes and downed trees, FOX 5 in Atlanta reported.
Several residents were reportedly injured during the storm and one man died of a heart attack.
Several posts on social media used the term “war zone” to describe the destruction.
“The city experienced heavy damage in and around the historic downtown area due to tonight’s weather,” the city’s official Twitter account posted around 1 a.m. ET. “Please note that both the city and county crews are in route and working on scene to clear impacted areas. Please remain safe in your homes and take shelter. Stay safe!”
