(CNN) -- The three-day death toll stemming from severe weather in the southeast rose to 30 after a Virginia official on Sunday confirmed that four people were killed in violent storms that swept across the state.
Three Gloucester County residents died and 64 suffered injuries from the fast-moving storms in eastern Virginia on Saturday, according to Bob Spieldenner, director of public affairs for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.
A tornado also ripped the roof off a school in the county, felled trees that blocked multiple roads and severed power lines, leaving 9,300 people without electricity, according to Spieldenner.
In the Shenandoah Valley, on the opposite side of the state, a child died after being swept away in a flash flood, according to the National Weather Service. Spieldenner said authorities rescued another flood victim, but a third is missing.
In North Carolina, severe weather killed nine people on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
Three people in Raleigh were killed in mobile homes that were destroyed, the weather service said. It reported two people died near Ammon, North Carolina. One person was killed in the Bladenboro area and another in the Benson and Black Creek area,

North Carolina State Rep. Mike Stone reported two additional deaths in Lee County.
Julia Jarema, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management, said the state suffered multiple fatalities, but declined to give a specific number.
At Camp Lejeune, according to a news release, an unknown number of base residents suffered injuries and nearly 30 homes were damaged following a series of tornadoes that touched down near a housing area Saturday evening.
One seriously-injured child was taken to a nearby hospital, according to the statement.
The storm rendered five homes uninhabitable and prompted officials to set up a temporary shelter at a nearby elementary school, the statement read.
"Today's outbreak of severe weather in North Carolina is quite unusual because of the intensity and frequency of tornadoes," said CNN meteorologist Jacqui Jeras. "This doesn't happen very often in this part of the country."
CNN affiliate WTVD broadcast images of damaged homes and vehicles in Smithfield, North Carolina, as local residents and emergency workers surveyed the damage.
Gov. Bev Perdue declared a state of emergency for the entire state, according to the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management.
"We've been assured we'll have whatever federal support we'll need," Perdue told reporters late Saturday.
The governor said that as of late Saturday, the number of storm-related power outages had dropped from 250,000 to 143,000.
Meanwhile, Two rotating storms triggered tornado watches and warnings up through the Richmond, Virginia; Washington, D.C., and Baltimore areas, according to the National Weather Service.
The service said more than 100 twisters have been spotted across the region during the recent storms.
In South Carolina, a tornado cut through Berkeley County, destroying a church and injuring six people, the weather service said.
"We're expecting large violent tornadoes that are going to stay on the ground for a long period of time," said Jeras. "This is a high-risk day," she added. "We only get a handful of days like this every year."
Meanwhile, emergency crews in Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama worked to assess the damage as the storm system moved north through the Carolinas and up into southern Virginia.
Seven people were killed in Alabama, officials said. Two other deaths were previously reported in Oklahoma and seven in Arkansas.
In Mississippi, one death and six injuries were reported, officials said.
The storms were the latest in a round of severe weather that has hit parts of the Midwest and South since Thursday. They left a trail of downed trees and power lines, scattered cars and crushed homes as it moved east.
