ATLANTA — Two people in rural northwest Georgia are dead and dozens injured after a series of severe storms moved through the state, producing the first-ever tornado to hit downtown Atlanta. A woman was killed in Polk County early Saturday afternoon when a storm demolished her home and threw her into a field, while an elderly man in neighboring Floyd County was killed by flying debris, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Officials have not released the victims’ names. The storm cut a 6-mile path of destruction through the city with winds gusting up to 130 miles per hour, leaving homes crushed by centuries-old trees and numerous windows shattered in high-rise office buildings and hotels. Residents had about eight minutes of warning before the twister struck downtown Friday night, officials said.
