Authorities and locals in the US state of Mississippi said Saturday that at least 23 people died as severe storms and at least one tornado tore off roofs and flattened neighbourhoods.

The emergency management organization of the southern state reported that tens of thousands of residents in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee were without electricity and that at least four people were missing and hundreds were hurt.

Governor Tate Reeves wrote on Twitter that “At least 23 Mississippians were killed by last night’s violent tornados. We know that many more are injured. Search and rescue teams are still active.

“The loss will be felt in these towns forever. Please pray for God’s hand to be over all who lost family and friends.”

Confirming the death toll at 23, the emergency management agency cautioned: “Unfortunately, these numbers are expected to change.”

The agency said on Twitter that search and rescue operations were underway in Sharkey and Humphreys counties, about 70 miles (110 kilometres) north of the state capital Jackson.
