ATLANTA (Gray News) - Deaths, injuries and property damage were reported as a large storm front rolled through the South, bringing high winds and torrential rain on Tuesday.
In Houston County, Alabama, an 81-year-old woman died when a suspected tornado struck her mobile home in Cottonwood, authorities told WTVY. She was identified as Charlotte Paschal, the mother-in-law of a Houston County deputy.

In metro Atlanta, a man died after a tree fell on his car Tuesday morning, Clayton County police told WANF.
The man was driving on Highway 54/Fayetteville Road when the tree smashed into his front windshield, police said. Police were called to the accident around 9:50 a.m., and the man was declared dead at the scene. Nobody else was in the car.
The storms and high gusts of wind that ripped through Atlanta on Tuesday, also caused several downed trees, power outages, floods and car crashes. A ground stop was ordered at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport for a time due to torrential rain.
