Residents clear storm debris as more severe weather looms

PEMBROKE, Ga. (AP) — Following violent storms blamed for killing at least three people, Southerners cleared fallen trees from roadways and began cleaning up debris from homes and buildings smashed by suspected tornadoes as forecasters warned more violent weather was likely on the way. In southeast Georgia, residents of Bryan County had barely begun recovery efforts after a likely tornado touched down Tuesday evening, killing one woman and injuring several other people, when local officials urged them to halt work by mid-afternoon Wednesday and take shelter for the night. The National Weather Service says another round of tornadoes was possible Wednesday, with heightened risk across a three-state area. Tuesday’s storms were also blamed for killing people in Louisiana and Texas.
