US storms: At least seven dead in trail of destruction - BBC News: "A storm described by forecasters as "particularly dangerous" has hit the South and Mid-west of the US, killing at least seven people and injuring scores more ahead of Christmas.
Four people were killed as tornadoes moved through northern Mississippi, officials said, and two in Tennessee and one in Arkansas.
There have been reports of at least 20 tornadoes of varying severity.
The high winds have also caused significant damage to homes.
Authorities in parts of Mississippi - where a seven-year-old was among those killed - are conducting a house-by-house search-and-rescue operation after the state was hit by multiple tornadoes.
The boy was inside a car, which was picked up and tossed in the storm. His relatives, who were also in the car, were taken to a hospital for treatment."
