Tornadoes Kill Four In South

Cleanup continues across a swath of the southern United States in the aftermath of severe storms that swept through the region earlier in the week.

Over 30 tornadoes were reported from Texas to South Carolina. There have been four confirmed fatalities.

Sasha Zamora, Montgomery County, Texas:

"It was a catastrophe. It was. It was incredible. The ground was shaking. It was the, the the wind was so strong. I can feel it. And it only happened in a matter of seconds."

Two of the tornadoes were rated as EF3, with peak winds of about 140 miles per hour.

Over 200,000 homes in eight states lost power in the aftermath of the storms.

Although uncommon for December, warm air from the Gulf of Mexico can combine with a northern cold front to spawn severe weather.
