ATLANTA (AP) — At least six people have been killed in the South as fast-moving spring storms packing high winds, hail and lightning blew through the region, uprooting trees and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands including in metro Atlanta. In Butts County in central Georgia, a father and son were killed when a tree fell onto a home, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Lisa Janak said. Another person was killed in Dodge County, Janak said.
