Millions of people from across the South are under threat of damaging winds, strong tornadoes and hail Saturday as the region braces for more potential destructive storms.

Multiple tornadoes have been reported in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi over the past couple of days, including an EF1 tornado (86- to 110-mph winds) near Fullerton, Louisiana, on Friday.

The National Weather Service confirmed five tornadoes in Texas on Thursday, including an EF1 in the Houston area that caused structural damage to some homes.

The storm threat was renewed Saturday, with a risk for tornadoes, destructive winds and hail into the overnight hours as the line of storms pushes east. Localized flash flooding was also possible.

One person was killed and four others had non-critical injuries in a tornado in Brazoria County, the sheriff's office said Saturday. The office did not provide further details on the death or the victim's identity.
