Officials from Texas to Georgia are reporting damaging winds and possible tornadoes as a powerful storm system crosses the South
ALBANY, Ga. — — Damaging winds and possible tornadoes toppled trees, damaged buildings and blew cars off a highway Wednesday as powerful storms crossed the South from Texas to Georgia.
Forecasters said threats could persist into Thursday morning as storms crossed Georgia toward the Atlantic coast. Video posted on social media showed a large funnel cloud churning on the horizon near the rural city of Blakely, and officials in nearby communities reported downed trees and snapped power lines. Connie Hobbs, the elected commission chairman for neighboring Baker County, said hail stones up to golf-ball size rained down in her yard.
“The big concern is flooding," Howell said as rain hammered at windows Wednesday evening."We’re such a flat area, and there’s already water standing” on and alongside the roads.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection gave no explanation for its decision to stop scheduling new appointments via the CBP One app for the crossing in Laredo, Texas.
