Tornadoes have struck a wide area of the southern and midwestern United States, killing at least 22 people and causing damage such as the collapse of homes.

In the United States, tornadoes occurred one after another over a wide area such as southern Tennessee and Midwestern Illinois on the 31st of last month, and according to local media, at least 22 people have died so far.

One person died when a concert venue in Illinois collapsed amid a large crowd and more than 1 others were injured and being treated in hospital.

In addition, houses and other buildings collapsed, and a video shot on a single day in Indiana in the Midwest shows many buildings being destroyed to the point where they do not retain their original shape, and debris is scattered around them.

Local authorities are rushing search and rescue operations, saying the number of victims may continue to rise.
