Iran Press/America: The storm that downed trees and power lines along much of the East Coast was largely a fresh and scary memory Monday night, CNN reported.
From Texas to South Carolina, reports of at least 40 tornadoes spanned more than 1,200 miles, the National Weather Service said Monday.
Radar data from the weather service suggests some tornadoes in Mississippi were on the ground for more than an hour and might have tracked at least 100 miles.
The system tore the roofs off many houses and killed people in six states before lashing other homes as it moved up the East Coast knocking trees onto roads and knocking out power to many.
In the South there was extensive damage in some areas.
In Mississippi, at least 11 people were killed, the state's Department of Emergency Management said.
At least nine people were killed in storm-related incidents in South Carolina, the state's governor Henry McMaster announced Monday. One of those killed was a security guard at a BorgWarner plant in Seneca.
Five people in South Carolina's Hampton County were killed in the early morning hours Monday, according to a Susanne Peeples, director of the county's emergency management department.
