More than 2 million were still without electricity Thursday evening after Zeta passed through the South, killing six.

Zeta made landfall on the Gulf Coast as a Category 2 hurricane around 4 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, near Cocodrie in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.

The storm has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, and has brought damage throughout Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia early Thursday and heavy rains to Tennessee and the Carolinas.

Photos show roofs ripped from buildings, trees on top of homes and downed power lines in New Orleans, St. Bernard and Chalmette, Louisiana, as well as parts of Atlanta and nearby suburbs in Georgia.

A 55-year-old man died when he was electrocuted by low-hanging power lines in New Orleans. In Biloxi, Mississippi, an Alabama man drowned at a marina while attempting to take video of the storm, according to the Sun Herald. Three died in Georgia and one person died in Alabama after trees fell on their homes.

Zeta has traveled north bringing rain and wind, and is expected to bring the season's first snow to parts of New England as it collides with a cold front.
