Authorities say one person is dead in Texas amid damaging storms that have prompted a flurry of tornado warnings in the South. Forecasters said it's the start of what could be two days of violent weather in the region.

Fallen trees and limbs closed a stretch of highway for several hours in Newton County, Mississippi. As the line of storms pushed into Georgia, a large tree fell and crashed through the roof of Marie Jordan’s home in metro Atlanta, coming down in the living room, kitchen and garage.Elsewhere in Texas, one person was injured when the storms swept through Johnson County, about 40 miles southwest of Dallas.
