Another round of torrential rain and flash flooding has come for parts of the South and Midwest already heavily waterlogged by days of deadly storms.

At least seven people have died as thunderstorms and tornadoes ravaged several US states, with more severe weather expected. Fatalities were reported in Tennessee, Indiana, and Missouri as the storms hit on Wednesday and Thursday.

The fresh storms come as many communities are still reeling from severe tornadoes that destroyed whole neighborhoods and killed at least seven people.
