The tornadoes damaged several towns across rural Mississippi
At least 19 people have died after tornadoes tore through the US state of Mississippi on Friday night.
More people are thought to be trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
The twisters caused devastation in several rural towns, where trees and power lines were torn down and tens of thousands of power outages were reported.
Several other southern states are also braced for powerful storms.
Residents of Rolling Fork said that a tornado blew the windows out of the back of their homes.
Mississippi's governor, Tate Reeves, said on Twitter that search and rescue teams were providing medical support to those affected.
"Many in the MS Delta need your prayer and God's protection tonight. Watch weather reports and stay cautious through the night, Mississippi!", Mr Reeves wrote. (BBC)
