North Carolina - Authorities began combing through the wreckage on Friday caused by a reported tornado that killed one person and injured three others in central North Carolina.
A possible tornado touched down on the outskirts of Greensboro late on Thursday as severe storms swept across the southeastern United States, damaging homes and businesses in at least three other states.
Earlier in the day, an apparent tornado also wrecked a shopping area in Mississippi and strong winds flipped a mobile home in Alabama. In south-central Tennessee, at least four homes and a few barns were damaged.
In North Carolina, a person in a small truck was killed after the vehicle was overturned in a parking lot west of Greensboro, said Alan Perdue, emergency services director for Guilford County. He did not have other details.
