ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dallas, Georgia – 16 March 2025
1. Tree down in front of house
2. Crew moving tree in front of home
3. Cars slowly driving over downed power lines
4. SOUNDBITE (English) LaTrecia Carter, Dallas, Georgia Resident:
"I thought that it was going to be kind of just smooth sailing and we missed – we were missed the last time. So I didn’t think to anticipate that there would be anything happening this time. But when that storm tore through, it was pretty loud. And of course, when I heard the hit, it started raining in my bed. So I was like, ‘oh my God.’ And so my daughter, she ran in and she pulled my bed to the middle of the floor, and we had to put a bucket and everything. So that was like the brunt of it. But as far as the downed lines in front of our house, that’s probably about as most as we had to deal with."
5. Downed power line
6. Downed tree
7. Root of tree exposed
8. SOUNDBITE (English) LaTrecia Carter, Dallas, Georgia Resident:
"I was just in awe, and I felt so bad for a lot of the neighbors because I know the trees that split houses. They had theirs impaled into their roofs and stuff like that. So it’s just heartbreaking when you don’t – you don’t have anything that you can do and you’re helpless."
9. Downed tree on building
10. Various of cars driving slowly
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Keshannah Perriman, Dallas Resident:
"But as the hour went by, that’s when things just started going crazy. We heard something hit the side of the house. The house shakes too when it storms that bad. So that was part of the biggest thing that kind of made things a little bit more real, that it was a lot worse than before."
12. Twisted drain on top of roof
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Keshannah Perriman, Dallas Resident:
"I didn’t think it was going to be this bad because we’ve been through storms before, but not nowhere near close to this, at all. Especially at the time we spent our entire lives in Georgia. We’ve never experienced a type of thunderstorm like this at all."
14. Various of downed power lines in front of home
STORYLINE:
A resident of a Georgia town that was pounded by an unusually vicious storm over the weekend told the Associated Press of the feeling of helplessness she experienced at not being able to help her neighbours.
"I was just in awe, and I felt so bad for a lot of the neighbors because I know the trees that split houses. They had theirs impaled into their roofs and stuff like that," said Latrecia Carter in Dallas, Georgia.
"So it’s just heartbreaking when you don’t – you don’t have anything that you can do and you’re helpless," said Carter, who had a downed power line in front of her house but was largely unscathed.
In Dallas, high winds uprooted trees, toppled power lines and decimated some homes.
Across the U.S., the storm triggered tornadoes and wildfires and left at least 35 people dead.
National Weather Service meteorologist Cody Snell said tornado watches remained in effect Sunday morning for portions of the Carolinas, east Georgia and northern Florida.
He said the main threat would be damaging winds, but there is the possibility of more tornadoes.
