11 killed in powerful US storms

At least 11 people have been killed after powerful weekend storms tore through the south-eastern US state of Georgia, media reported on Sunday. A rural part of south-central Georgia was hardest hit, including a trailer park where seven people were killed, Cook County coroner Tim Purvis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Atlanta TV channel WSB reported, meanwhile, that another four people were killed elsewhere in the state, along with 23 others who were injured.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported extensive damage in some part of Georgia, with numerous felled trees and downed power lines in several counties.
