		</div><p>US officials say one person was killed after a tornado swept through North Texas.</p>
<p>A 73-year-old woman died on Monday night in the community of Sherwood Shores, Texas, about 90 miles north of Dallas and near the state’s border with Oklahoma.</p>
<p>Ten other injuries have been reported in Grayson County from the storms.</p>
<p>The same storm system was poised to move into Louisiana and Mississippi on Tuesday, carrying the risk of more dangerous tornadoes and powerful winds.</p>
<p>In Texas, several tornadoes were reported Monday along the Interstate 35 corridor, particularly in the Austin suburbs of Round Rock and Elgin, and close to Dallas-Fort Worth.</p>
<p>Two unconfirmed tornadoes caused damage in the Lake Texoma area of northern Texas and southern Oklahoma.</p>
<p>More than a dozen injuries have been reported in Texas, including the 10 in Grayson County.</p>
<p>By Tuesday morning, the system was bringing heavy rainfall and thunderstorms to parts of Texas and Arkansas, according to Jeremy Grams, lead forecaster with the Storm Prediction Centre, in Norman, Oklahoma.</p>
<p>A tornado watch was in effect for parts of Texas and Louisiana.</p>
<p>In Louisiana, high water early on Tuesday posed a threat to motorists on several roads, including a stretch of Interstate 20 and several state highways after rains overnight, authorities said.</p>
<p>Deputies in Caddo Parish, which includes Shreveport, rescued three drivers from high waters during the night, the sheriff’s office tweeted before dawn.</p>
<p>The storms were expected to intensify throughout the day as temperatures rise, increasing the threat of tornadoes, hail and strong winds.</p>
<p>Much of Louisiana and Mississippi were at a moderate risk of severe weather on Tuesday, the second-highest risk category issued by the Storm Prediction Centre.</p>
<p>Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Jackson, Mississippi, were among the cities at risk of bad weather on Tuesday.</p>
<p>“We’re still a bit uncertain on just how intense and how longer-lived some of these tornadoes may be, so we’re going to be just below that threshold of the greatest risk,” Mr Grams said.</p>
<p>Forecasters were predicting intense tornadoes and widespread damaging winds, some hurricane-force with speeds of 75mph or greater, in much of Mississippi, southern and eastern Louisiana, and western Alabama.</p>
<p>Louisiana’s federal and state authorities reminded thousands of hurricane survivors living in government-provided mobile homes and recreational vehicle trailers to have an evacuation plan because the structures might not withstand the expected weather.</p>
<p>More than 8,000 households live in such temporary quarters, officials said.</p>
<p>The storm already left misery in its wake in Texas. Damage to homes and businesses occurred in at least a dozen Texas counties, according to reports submitted to the Storm Prediction Centre.</p>
<p>Officials reported damage throughout Jacksboro, about 60 miles north-west of Fort Worth.</p>
<p>There, photographs posted on social media showed a storm had ripped the wall and roof from parts of Jacksboro High School, especially its gym.</p>
<p>“It brought tears to my eyes,” school principal Starla Sanders told WFAA-TV in Dallas.</p>
<p>Thirty miles north-east of Jacksboro, near Bowie, the damage was widespread. Four people suffered minor injuries, said emergency manager Kelly McNabb.</p>
