HOLLY SPRINGS, Rabi'I 13, 1437, Dec 24, 2015, SPA -- Residents took stock Thursday after fierce storms that killed at least seven people, injured dozens and destroyed cars, homes and businesses across the U.S. South. According to AP, the spring-like storms mixed with unseasonably warm weather made the perfect recipe for destruction. Heavy rain and thunderstorms moved east from Atlanta to the Carolinas, but the threat of tornadoes eased. From Alabama to New York, much of the country felt unusually warm temperatures in the 70s Fahrenheit (More than 20 degrees Celsius) on Christmas Eve. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said dozens of people in the state were being treated for injuries. Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said before dawn Thursday that injuries are "more than 40 for sure, and some of those are quite serious." Some of the injuries included amputations, he said. --SPA 18:27 LOCAL TIME 15:27 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
