Powerful storms killed at least 11 people and left a wide trail of destruction across Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas after obliterating homes and destroying a lorry stop where drivers took shelter during the latest deadly weather to strike the central US.
Five of the deaths were in Texas, near the Oklahoma border, where a tornado on Saturday night plough through a rural area near a mobile home park, officials said.
