Six people were killed in Tennessee and one in Arkansas.

Seven people were killed in MS, including a 7-year-old who was in a van with his family on Highway 7 in Holly Springs when storms ripped through the town, Marshall County Coroner James Anderson said. Two people in one home were killed.

Emergency crews in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee searched the ruins of splintered buildings for several people listed as unaccounted for, and scores were reported injured throughout the region. There were four confirmed tornadoes, including two in Wayne County, that touched down and caused damage during the storms. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said Saturday that authorities were monitoring areas for possible flooding.

Among the dead in MS was a 7-year-old girl, who was found in an overturned van with her family on one of the state’s expressways pummeled by the storms.

“If you go through these neighbourhoods, there are a lot of people very proud of what they’ve put out and they’ve got stuff everywhere – all these ornaments and deer and everything else”, Clements said.

The bad weather is also due to hit – or has hit – the states of Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Alabama.

The National Weather Service warned residents to avoid driving in areas where flooding was expected.

It’s a rainy day here in the Mid South, but that hasn’t stopped volunteers from opening the multi-purpose center here in Holly Springs to help out the victims of the tornadoes and boy are they generous. Two neighbors had died in the storm that swept across the southeastern USA earlier this week.

The US East Coast meanwhile is enjoying unseasonably warm weather, with temperatures in New York’s iconic Central Park peaking at 22 degrees Celsius on Thursday, the warmest Christmas Eve since records began in 1871. Temperatures in the eastern third of the country could set numerous records Sunday, Rubin-Oster said.
