Southern US Storm Death Toll Rises to 15

U.S. authorities say a second night of severe weather and possible tornados in the southern United States has killed four people, raising the number of storm-related deaths in the region to 15 since Monday.

Violent thunderstorms late Tuesday into Wednesday killed one person inside a home in the state of Arkansas, while a man was killed in the nearby state of Mississippi when his vehicle hit a tree that had fallen on a highway. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency also reported two other storm-related deaths in the state.

A series of powerful storms a day earlier killed 10 people in Arkansas and a three-year-old girl in Mississippi.
