There were, however, some astonishing stories of survival. Earnestine Reese, 72, was captured on camera after her house was absolutely leveled by the tornado. Sitting among the ruins, and with her whole material life in tatters behind her, Reese could be heard thanking God for sparing her life.

"I thank the Lord. You tell God, 'Thank you, God.' You hear me? You hear me? Tell God thank you. Tell God thank you," she said on a FaceTime call with her grandson, Kingston Frazier.

"I'm just thankful my family alright," Kingston wrote on Facebook. "And to those going through the same thing my heart and prayers goes out to y'all and to the whole community."

"Thankful for everybody prayers," he added.

"The trailer is completely gone," cameraman, Delrico Eiland, can be heard saying, referring to Reese's daughter's adjacent home, which was also destroyed in the tornado.

"God is good," Eiland wrote alongside the video, which was shot in Beuraguard, Alabama.

Which area was hit the worst?

Beauregard and the surrounding areas along the Alabama-Georgia border got hit the hardest by a series of swirling tornadoes, which ripped up everything in their path.

In Talbotton, Georgia, at least 15 buildings were leveled to the ground.

"Complete apartments are gone and damaged," said Pastor Vinton Copeland from the local Baptist church, according to CNN. "We have a shelter at our county high school for those affected. It's devastating and houses are gone and there are power lines decimated. Tough time."
