A severe weather threat is moving to the Southeast and East Coast on Sunday after deadly tornado-spawning storms pummeled Texas and Mississippi, tearing through homes and leaving at least two people dead.

A tornado that touched down in Brazoria County, Texas, struck some homes and other structures on Saturday, the authorities said. It was a day of tornado warnings in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Heavy rain and severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes, damaging wind gusts and hail are likely across the eastern Gulf Coast—including portions of southern Georgia, Alabama and Florida—and into North and South Carolina, where a severe thunderstorm warning is in effect, the National Weather Service said.
