US tornadoes: Death toll grows as extreme storms ravage several states
At least 26 people have been killed after a series of tornadoes tore through towns and cities in the United States’ South and Midwest.
Homes were destroyed and thousands left without power after storms caused devastation across several states.
According to Washington Post, more than 60 tornado reports have been recorded.
States including Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama and Mississippi have all had fatalities as a result of the weather.
One storm shredded through the Arkansas town of Wynne – a community some 100 miles (170km) east of the state capital, Little Rock.
Ashley Macmillan said she, her husband and their children huddled with their dogs in a small bathroom as a tornado passed, “praying and saying goodbye to each other, because we thought we were dead”.
She told the AP news agency: “We could feel the house shaking, we could hear loud noises, dishes rattling. And then it just got calm.”
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared a state of emergency in the state of Arkansas on Friday, with the national guard activated to help with recovery efforts.
