At least 14 people are dead following an intense storm system in south Georgia.  About 20 others were hurt. Chris Cohilas is the commission chairman in Georgia’s Doherty County, where at least four people died.  Governor Nathan Deal has declared a state of emergency in seven counties.  Eight people were killed in a mobile home park in Cook County.  One rescue worker tells the “Atlanta Journal-Constitution” some trailers were flattened with people trapped underneath.
