Two people have been left dead and another seriously injured following a tornado that touched down in north Georgia, one day after a twister wrecked havoc on downtown Atlanta.

 

The tornado on Saturday touched down around Rockmart in Polk County.

 

On Friday a tornado ripped through downtown Atlanta causing massive damage to several buildings and homes, knocking out power as trees and power lines were strewn across streets and lawns.
