At least 21 people are reported to have died after a series of deadly storms across the southern and midwest US, with severe rains, flooding rivers and tornadoes leading to several evacuations in the region.

Some cities ordered people to leave their homes as floodwaters rose. And rescue crews have been spotted using inflatable boats to check on residents in Kentucky and Tennessee.

The Tennessee health department has confirmed 10 deaths in the state relating to the severe weather, including tornadoes and flooding. Though severe weather was diminishing in some areas, floodwater and debris hazards remain.

    A nine-year-old boy was one of the reported deaths in Kentucky. He was walking to catch his school bus when he was caught in floodwaters.

    That’s both awful and neglect
