Crews begin clean up after tornadoes rip through the South

After storms ripped through the south Sunday night into Monday morning crews are starting to clean up while still fighting the coronavirus.

MISSISSIPPI, USA — After strong storms swept through the South, crews were able to get out and evaluate the damage left behind.

According to CBS News, 33 people died and more than 80 tornadoes were reported between Sunday and Monday. That National Weather Service is still working to confirm how many were actual tornadoes so the final number will be much less.

Crews across the South are working to clean up while still doing their best to follow CDC guidelines to social distance.

South Carolina is already under a state of emergency because of the coronavirus and Monday their governor issued a second one to deal with the storm damage.

Nearly half a million people were without power in both North and South Carolina yesterday.
