Twelve people have been killed in central America after a powerful storm system saw tornadoes rip through Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Arkansas Emergency Management official Brandon Morris told Sky News the death toll from a large tornado which ripped through the state stands at 11 people.
The tornado formed outside Little Rock and travelled north-east for 30 miles, carving a destructive path.
Television footage from the scene showed badly-damaged buildings and cars.
An earlier tornado in the town of Quapaw, in Oklahoma, also left one person dead and at least six people injured.
Joe Dan Morgan from Ottawa County Emergency Management said there was heavy damage in the town.
"Looks like about half of (the) town got extensive damage as well as the fire department," he said.
Six people were treated for injuries at the Baptist Regional Health Center, said hospital spokeswoman Kristie Wallace.
Authorities said earlier that two people were killed in Quapaw.
