One person was killed and more than a dozen were injured when tornadoes tore through parts of Texas and Oklahoma, damaging a school, homes and businesses, before the storm system continued its destructive path into Louisiana and Mississippi.

High winds uprooted trees in Ridgeland, Mississippi, as a possible tornado passed the city on Tuesday afternoon, but there were no immediate reports of any injuries or serious damage to buildings.
