Powerful storms have killed at least 15 people and left a trail of destruction in their wake as they swept across parts of the central United States.
A tornado tore through a rural area in northern Texas, near the Oklahoma border, on Saturday night, killing at least seven people.
Cooke County sheriff Ray Sappington said two children, aged two and five, were among the victims, with numerous injuries also reported.
He said some of the many trailer homes in the area were “completely gone”, while others suffered massive damage from the storm which left a quarter of a mile-wide path of destruction for three to four miles.
“It’s just a trail of debris left,” he said. “The devastation is pretty severe.”
Storms also killed two people and destroyed houses in Oklahoma, where guests at an outdoor wedding were injured, while at least five people were killed in Arkansas, including a 26-year-old woman.
