As of now, 15 people have been killed and hundreds have been wounded as a result of the tornado and storms that hit the states of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott relayed at a news conference on Sunday that seven deaths, including two children, were reported near the Oklahoma border, where a night tornado hit near the mobile home park.

Abbott confirmed that around 200 homes and structures were destroyed in the aftermath, saying, "The hopes and dreams of Texas families and small businesses have literally been crushed by storm after storm."

A resident of Farmers Branch in Dallas County, Hugo Parra, said he survived the storm with 40 to 50 people in a truck stop bathroom when the storm tore the roof and the walls off the building and left damaged cars in the parking lot.

AP quoted Parra as saying, "A firefighter came to check on us and he said, ‘You’re very lucky,’" adding "The best way to describe this is the wind tried to rip us out of the bathrooms."

Meanwhile, police and Louisville Mayor Craig Greenburg in Kentucky confirmed a man was killed in the city when a tree fell on him.

More severe storms were expected in the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

Last year, between March and April, Arkansas and Mississippi suffered heavy damage and casualties as a result of the tornadoes that hit the region during that time of year.
