At least one person has been killed and about two dozen injured after tornadoes swept across Mississippi, as a heatwave smothers the southern United States and spurs inclement weather.
One tornado touched down on Sunday night in the town of Louin, Mississippi, about 112 kilometres (70 miles) east of the state capital Jackson, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Videos and photos show a landscape littered with debris and contorted trees. State emergency workers are still trying to give a full accounting of the damage.
