The death toll from tornadoes and violent storms that ravaged the central and southern United States over the weekend has risen to at least 40 people, with dozens more injured, local authorities said.
Local news channels across the affected region showed video of roofs torn off homes, trees felled, and trucks overturned by high winds.
“We are actively monitoring the severe tornadoes and storms that have impacted many States across the South and Midwest,” President Donald Trump posted earlier Sunday on Truth Social, putting the toll at 36.
He said National Guard troops were deployed in Arkansas, where officials said three people had died and 32 had been injured in the storm.
