Deadly tornadoes tore through communities across the Southeast on Monday, including the city of Albany, Georgia.

Albany, 180 miles south of Atlanta, was one of a number of communities in the area slammed by tornadoes.

The storm tossed houses and vehicles as it passed through the city.

The tornado ripped through this home's roof and top level, strewing debris across the area.

Officials in Albany are still searching for a 2-year-old boy who went missing during the storm.

Betty Byrd, a resident of Albany, described the damage to HLN's Erica Hill: "When I went outside. Oh, my God! I mean, it looked like a war zone."
