The remnants of Hurricane Laura have unleashed heavy rain and twisters hundreds of miles inland from a path of death and destruction along the Gulf Coast of the United States.

Flooding and more tornadoes are possible as the leftovers of the once fearsome Category 4 hurricane move eastwards through Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama after an apparent tornado tore through a church and homes in Arkansas.
