A tornado reportedly touched down early Sunday in Troup County, Georgia, near the Alabama border, flattening homes and risking a possible direct hit to an automobile plant.
Georgia Mutual Aid Group (GMAG) said affected areas included the county seat of LaGrange, about 67 miles southwest of Atlanta.
"I-85 Blocked both sides N of Ga 103. All Troup Co. vollies activated, ordered to report to all stations to stand by for deployment. Many buildings damaged, people trapped," GMAG wrote on Facebook. In the town of West Point, Ga., the group warned of, "numerous houses collapsed, people trapped" around the areas of Samples Road, First Ave. and West Smith Road.
"Many Roads blocked by debris. I-85 Closed, both directions due to many trees across Interstate and vehicles damaged," the post said.
