Putnam County Mayor Randy Porter said tonight in a press conference the death count stands at 18 with three still missing after completing 90 percent of the second search.

According to Porter, these three individuals are Leah Suzanne Weeks, “Bo” Roger Hensley and Dixie Savannah Hensley while officials identified all the deceased.

Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris said the remainder of the area needing to be searched includes the 25 acre marshy field near the area affected by the tornado.

Porter said they plan to search the remaining 10 percent by noon tomorrow.
