PICHER, Oklahoma (CNN) — The deadly storm that blew through Missouri and Oklahoma continued into Georgia on Sunday, killing one person and destroying a whole small town, authorities said. The storm system that blew tornadoes through parts of the midwest Saturday killed at least 20 people in Missouri and Oklahoma. An official surveying the damage Sunday said the region looks like a “war zone.” Lisa Janak with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency said one person was killed Sunday in Dublin, just south of Macon. And the nearby town of Kite, with about 200 residents, was destroyed, she said. “The report I am getting is the whole town is gone,” said Janak. “I have worked in emergency management for eight years and I never received a report like that before.” |
