Heavy storms and tornadoes swept the southern US region from April 12 to the present, killing at least 32 people, severely damaged buildings, and 1.3 million people living in a electricity loss condition.

The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning at its highest level, with winds estimated at up to 235km / h.

According to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent, the governments of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi have declared a state of emergency in response to storms, violent tornadoes, flash floods and heavy hail.

In a statement on April 13, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee acknowledged the hurricane and tornado "caused significant damage both to people and property."

The images published in the media show that many houses were ruined, unroofed, or even just rubble. Storms and tornadoes caused widespread power outages in many states.

The image recorded at Monroe Airport in Louisiana shows that many aircraft were damaged and the wind was stacked.

According to the Mississippi State Administration of Emergency Management, Greg Michel, April is the most dangerous month in this state because it is the time to record tornadoes throughout the year.

US President Donald Trump expressed his condolences to the people affected by the disaster.

He announced that the government will implement measures to support the community to quickly rebuild./.
