US storms death toll catapults to 20

Published on April 07, 2025 at 01:15 PM

The death toll from severe storms in the midwest and southern United States has risen to 20.

A father and his son were reportedly killed on Sunday in Georgia when a falling tree struck them on a golf course.

DAILY POST reports that since Wednesday, an additional 18 storm-related deaths had been reported in Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Arkansas and Mississippi.

At least 10 people died in Tennessee, where a powerful tornado devastated the city of Selmer.

Also by Sunday, approximately 90 tornadoes had been recorded across the nation and heavy rainfall caused rivers to overflow, resulting in widespread flooding.

The National Weather Service issued warnings for life-threatening flood conditions.

The governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, declared a state of emergency, especially in areas like Covington, where streets were submerged due to the Ohio and Licking rivers, as the situation worsened.

Similarly, in Frankfort, the Kentucky River reached nearly 15 meters, approaching a near-record level. Around 80,000 households in the affected states were left without power.

DAILY POST reports that air traffic was severely affected, with approximately 4,000 delays and 150 flight cancellations reported on Sunday.
