		</div><p>Severe storms that caused destruction across southern US states have claimed at least 18 lives on a two-day sweep across the region.</p>
<p>They put millions of people on edge during a weekend of violent weather that left crumpled trailer homes and downed trees in the hardest-hit communities from Mississippi to Georgia.</p>
<p>The severe weather threat was still continuing late on Sunday night in some parts, extending into the Carolinas and north Florida.</p>
<p>At least 14 people were killed on Sunday in Georgia as the fast-moving storms tore across the state through the day.</p>
<p>There was at least one deadly tornado reported before dawn and violent storms still rumbling after nightfall.</p>

<p>Four people were killed on Saturday in Mississippi when the system began its deadly assault.<br />
&#8220;There are houses just demolished,&#8221; said Norma Ford, from Albany, Georgia, the region&#8217;s largest city with 76,000 residents.</p>
<p>She said rushed out with other relatives on Sunday evening after hearing a reported twister had overturned her nephew&#8217;s mobile home.</p>
<p>Ms Ford said downed trees and powerlines made roads impassable, forcing them to walk the two miles to the mobile home park to check on her relatives.</p>
<p>She said her nephew was fine, but several of his neighbours&#8217; homes were destroyed.<br />
Georgia&#8217;s latest three deaths were confirmed on Sunday evening in Dougherty County where Albany is located.</p>

<p>Sebon Burns, the county&#8217;s deputy chief for emergency management, said search and rescue efforts were continuing on Sunday night following reports of injuries and extensive damage.</p>
<p>Yet the day&#8217;s deadliest toll came before dawn an apparent tornado blew through a mobile home park in south Georgia &#8211; about 60 miles from Albany &#8211; upending homes and killing seven people.</p>
<p>Coroner Tim Purvis of south Georgia&#8217;s Cook County confirmed seven people died at the mobile home park, where about roughly half of the 40 homes were &#8220;levelled&#8221;.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump said he had spoken with Governor Nathan Deal of Georgia and &#8220;expressed our sincere condolences for the lives taken&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tornadoes were vicious and powerful and strong, and they suffered greatly,&#8221; Mr Trump said during a White House ceremony where he was swearing in aides.</p>
<p>&#8220;So we&#8217;ll be helping out the state of Georgia.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Deal declared a state of emergency in seven southern Georgia counties, freeing up state resources to assist with recovery efforts.</p>
<p>Two of Sunday&#8217;s deaths occurred in Brooks County when a mobile home was struck by an apparent tornado, moving it 100 yards before dawn on Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;A tornado hit a mobile home, picked it up and put it in the middle of Highway 122,&#8221; Brooks County Coroner Michael Miller said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it rolled or was lifted, but it blocked the entire highway.&#8221;<br />
Georgia emergency officials said two people were also killed in nearby Berrien County.</p>
