The phenomenon known as “training,” is largely to blame for the flooding. Training is described as weather oddity where thunderstorms form in a line and continue to pass over the same area.

Tornadoes continue to be spotted, including one in Scotland, Arkansas responsible for one death, and injuring two dozen. Another tornado hit Ashland, Mississippi, killing Latoya Long, 25, and Thomas Catrell Cowan, 26. Benton County Coroner John Riles told AP that the mobile home the pair lived in was completely destroyed by the severe weather.

Commenting on the grisly scene, he remarked, "it looks like you stuck about four sticks of dynamite on it and it just disappeared."
