Emergency officials in Columbia County, Florida, reported one person was killed when a large tree split a home in half in the Lake City area.

Georgia`s latest deaths were confirmed Monday morning by Dougherty County Coroner Michael Fowler, who said a total of four people died in the county Sunday.

Fowler told the Associated Press that authorities there are trying to determine if they need to keep searching for victims and that it`s been hard to make sure everyone is accounted for.

The day`s deadliest toll came before daybreak Sunday when an apparent tornado blew through a mobile home park in south Georgia — about 60 miles southeast of Albany — shearing away siding, upending homes and killing seven people.

Cook County Coroner Tim Purvis confirmed that seven people died at tSunshine Acres, where about roughly half of the 40 homes were "leveled." Georgia state emergency officials initially reported an eighth death in that county but later said that was incorrect.

President Donald Trump said Sunday he had spoken with Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and "expressed our sincere condolences for the lives taken."

"Tornadoes were vicious and powerful and strong, and they suffered greatly," Trump said during a White House ceremony where he was swearing in aides. "So we`ll be helping out the state of Georgia."

In Albany, Georgia, a city of roughly 77,000 in the southwestern part of the state, Doughtery County Commission Chairman Chris Cohilas walked the streets of hard-hit Radium Springs during a Facebook Live video. He described the area as looking as if a nuclear bomb went off.
"We need a lot of help," he said in the video. "This is really bad."
