Just heard that on BBC. Here's a US link
http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0424/tornado.html
<snip>A tornado cut a deadly path through the southern US state of Mississippi, killing at least two people and destroying homes.

Severe weather unleashed tornadoes that damaged buildings in at least 12 Mississippi counties and downed communication lines, while the US National Weather Service warned that strong tornadoes were developing in neighbouring states.

The mayor of Yazoo City, McArthur Straughter, said the tornado killed least two people in Yazoo County.
