A tornado has struck an Indiana home, killing one man and injuring his wife while two people died in Arkansas after a tree fell on to a house as severe weather rumbled through a number of states.

The tornado that struck the home on Sunday evening was part of a storm system that pushed through Martin County, Indiana, WXIN-TV reported. A tornado also touched down on Sunday afternoon in Johnson County, south of Indianapolis, damaging at least 75 homes, authorities said.
