At least 26 people have been killed after a series of tornadoes tore through towns and cities in the South and Midwest of the United States.
Homes were destroyed and thousands left without power after storms caused devastation across several states.
According to the Washington Post, more than 60 tornado reports were recorded.
States including Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama and Mississippi have all had fatalities as a result of the weather, BBC news reported.
One storm shredded through the Arkansas town of Wynne – a community some 100 miles (170km) east of the state capital, Little Rock.
As storms continue to work their way east, hundreds of thousands of people are without power across several states.
In a bulletin, the Storm Prediction Center warned some of the projected tornadoes could track across the ground for long distances.
The deadly tornadoes come a week after a rare, long-track twister killed 26 people in Mississippi.
The Mississippi tornado last week travelled 59 miles (94km) and lasted about an hour and 10 minutes – an unusually long period of time for a storm to sustain itself. It damaged about 2,000 homes, local officials said.
