US storms kill 10 in Tennessee and Ohio

Devastating, tornado-laden storms ripped through Tennessee and Ohio, killing at least 10 people, trapping others in buildings and leaving thousands without power.

The National Weather Service confirmed at least five tornadoes across middle and western Tennessee yesterday, with wind speeds of up to 140mph.

The dead included five people in Ohio, two in Putnan County when a mobile home overturned and another in Seneca County when the victim was thrown from a car.
