Print Edition
Violent storms and a tornado battered parts of the southern United States over the weekend, leaving at least two dead, 10 missing and dozens more injured, officials said yesterday.
A couple was killed in Nashville, Arkansas, on Sunday when powerful winds smashed their mobile home in a trailer park, Howard County Coroner John Gray said. An infant in the home reportedly survived.
About 290 kilometers to the southwest in Van, Texas, 10 people were unaccounted for after a tornado ripped through the town and injured dozens of people, Van Zandt County Fire Marshal Chuck Allen said.
Homes were completely destroyed, and trees and power lines were toppled as high winds and heavy rains pounded the town in eastern Van Zandt county late on Sunday.
The National Weather Service warned of more harsh weather in the coming days. “Severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are expected to develop from Texas to the middle Mississippi Valley region,” it said.
