The National Weather Service says at least six tornadoes swept across four southern states, killing at least 22 people. The twisters touched down in Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. One of those funnel clouds was caught on tape. Click the video on the right to see the video of a tornado that formed near Arlington, Tennessee, outside Memphis. We don't know if anyone was injured in this particular storm, but a few people that took shelter under a bridge were washed into a river and later rescued. They had minor injuries. There were also some minor injuries at a Memphis mall that was damaged by wind.
The tornadoes were in a line of storms that raged across the nation's midsection at the end of a day of Super Tuesday primaries. Candidates, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee, paused during their victory speeches to remember the victims.
