WARTBURG, Tenn. (AP) — Two people were killed in eastern Tennessee when two tornadoes moved through the region, local officials said Friday.

A mother and daughter from the same household were killed when the storm passed through the Deer Lodge and Sunbright areas of Morgan County on Thursday night, according to a social media post by the county emergency management agency.

Three other injuries were also reported, officials said.

Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers were on site Friday morning helping to secure structures that were damaged or destroyed, Capt. Stacey Heatherly said in an email. Officials didn’t believe anyone was still missing, Heatherly said.

Preliminary storm surveys released midday Friday determined that two tornados hit the region on Thursday, the National Weather Service office in Morristown said. The tornado in Deer Lodge in Morgan County had maximum winds of 135 mph (217 kph) and was rated as an EF2, which is considered “significant” on the Enhanced Fujita scale. The tornado in Thorn Hill in Grainger County had maximum winds of 115 mph (185 kph) and received an EF1 rating.

Gov. Bill Lee said in a statement Friday that he and wife, Maria, were praying for those impacted by the storm and that he would visit the rural community later that day.

“Please join Maria and me in lifting our neighboring Tennesseans up in prayer as response teams help survivors,” Lee posted on social media.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol said on social media that troopers were in Morgan County ensuring resident safety and assessing and helping with structure damage.

The Morgan County School District said on its website that schools would be closed Friday because of “significant damage from tornadoes in parts of our county.”

Additionally, the storm downed trees and damaged several structures in the Thorn Hill area of Grainger County, but there were no injuries or deaths there, county Emergency Management Director Jeffrey Atkins said by telephone.

Officials with the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency added that other counties impacted by the storm include Fentress, Jackson, Overton, Putnam and Sevier. Meanwhile, officials continued to warn of possible extreme weather throughout the South on Friday.
