Severe storms including at least two confirmed tornadoes injured people, damaged homes and businesses and downed power lines in Mississippi and Tennessee. That’s after they spread damage in Arkansas, Missouri and Texas overnight before moving to the Deep South. No deaths were immediately reported from the storm front, which left more than 180,000 people in seven states without power Thursday morning. Significant damage was reported in Jackson, Tennessee, and a warehouse collapsed in Southaven, Mississippi. A tornado injured seven people in Arkansas, where the governor said search and rescue teams were deployed.
