RINGGOLD, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say the death toll from fierce storms that tore through Georgia has climbed to at least 14.

An official with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency said Thursday the latest death was reported in Rabun County in the northeast corner of the state.

Rabun County Coroner Sam Beck said a man was in his home in the path of a storm that moved through the county. No other details were immediately available, and Beck said officials were working to contact the man's family.

State officials say at least 114 people were injured across the state. Deaths have also been reported in Catoosa, Dade, Lamar and Spalding counties.
