A tornado touched down in Atlanta Monday morning as more than 100 million people in the midwest and southeast are threatened by severe storms.
The tornado hit the area between 10:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. but no damage was reported, according to the National Weather Service. A day earlier, the same storm system caused property damage and power outages in Mississippi.
As the storm moves east, it potentially brings heavy hail and winds of up to 70 mph. West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee may see inclement weather.
