And vehicles were destroyed.
An EF-1 tornado with estimated winds of 95 mph was reported in Heard County, according to the National Weather Service.
The tornadoes were part of a system that brought downpours and damaging winds to metro Atlanta and other parts of the state.
Wet roads led to multiple wrecks across metro Atlanta. The FAA issued a ground stop at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. And heavy rain left behind flooded roads and other damages.
