U.S-Severe storms and tornadoes kill 7 in Texas and Oklahoma

At least seven people have been killed and dozens injured due to severe weather in southern Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana.

On Wednesday and early Thursday, severe thunderstorms, flooding and tornadoes were reported in the region.

Five people were killed in “extremely dangerous” twisters in Oklahoma and Texas. In Louisiana, one person died in a storm and another in floodwaters.

Millions of people remain in the path of possible severe weather on Thursday.

More than 100,000 homes across the US south were without power as of Thursday afternoon.

The National Weather Service (NWS) said the “extremely dangerous tornado” that hit the city of Onalaska and other parts of Polk and San Jacinto counties in Texas formed around 18:00 local time (23:00 GMT).
