Sharjah24 - WAM: Forecasters warn that record rains may soon follow in certain areas after tornadoes and thunderstorms blasted across multiple US states, killing at least seven people.
A man and his teenage daughter, whose home was destroyed in western Tennessee, were among the dead, along with a man whose pickup truck struck downed powerlines in Indiana.
Fatalities were also reported in Missouri as the first in a series of forecast storms ripped across the country on Wednesday and early Thursday.
Thousands of properties have been left without power, with some homes also destroyed.
People were rescued from floodwater on Thursday in flooded parts of the city, which is braced for days of rain.
The forecasts have been especially worrying for people in rural areas of the state, where floodwaters can quickly rush off the mountains into the hollows.
