Easter storms leveled swaths of the South, claiming the lives of at least 19 people and damaging hundreds of properties Sunday into Monday.

The storms caused flooding, mudslides and power outages across 10 states, from Georgia to West Virginia and as far west as Texas.

Chattanooga, Tennessee and adjacent counties incurred a particularly high amount of damage as fire departments were dispatched to at least 300 emergency calls.

Fourteen people were hospitalized in the region, according to the local fire department.

In Georgia, Murray County Fire Chief Dewayne Bain said two mobile home parks were severely damaged, five people were killed and five were sent to area hospitals. One person was killed after a tree fell on a home in Cartersville, Georgia, WAGA-TV reported.

In Mississippi — where winds reached over 150 mph — Gov. Tate Reeves declared a state of emergency Sunday, when tornadoes had hit the state. There were 11 fatalities there as of early Monday morning.

“This is not how anyone wants to celebrate Easter,” Reeves said on Twitter. “As we reflect on the death and resurrection on this Easter Sunday, we have faith that we will all rise together.”

In Clarksdale, Mississippi, gusts of wind knocked over power lines and sent trees flying into homes, Mayor Chuck Espy said.

“I know these are some tough times and I’m just asking everyone to stay prayed up,” he said.
