At least 25 people were killed by devastating tornadoes that ripped across the southern US state of Mississippi, tearing off roofs, smashing cars and flattening entire neighborhoods, with the region readying for more severe weather.
The powerful weather system, accompanied by thunderstorms and driving rain, cut a path of more than 100 miles (60 kilometers) across the state last week, slamming several towns along the way.
According to Mississippi’s emergency management agency it put the death toll at 25, adding that dozens more were injured while four people that was reported missing found.
The sheriff’s office in Morgan County said reported on Twitter that in Alabama, one man died after being trapped when a trailer overturned in the severe weather.
