ALPHARETTA, Ga. Authorities blamed violent storms for the death of an 83-year-old Georgia woman Saturday as vicious weather pounded the state for a second straight day.
More than 100 homes were destroyed or damaged by possible tornadoes from Paulding County near the state's northwest border with Alabama all the way south to Lowndes and Lanier counties at the Georgia-Florida line. Few injuries were reported across the state, said Lisa Janak, spokeswoman for the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.
