Washington : A series of tornados crossed the US South and left at least 33 dead people, the Los Angeles Times daily reported on Wednesday.
The fatalities occurred in Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky and, although Mississippi and Alabama were hit by the tornadoes, no deaths were reported.
The strong winds destroyed houses, stores, shops, and caused blackouts in several cities of this region.
In Nashville, Tennessee, a fire described as spectacular caused several deaths.
These meteorological phenomena were more severe than those January 8 in Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma and Wisconsin where two victims were reported.
