A 9-year-old girl in Mississippi was believed to have been swept away in a flash flood.
Seven people suffered injuries resulting from a tornado in Covington County, Miss., the state emergency management agency said.
Half of the state was under a flood warning, flood watch or tornado warning through Monday night, according to the National Weather Service.
The young girl disappeared in Yazoo County, north of Jackson, after she was spotted playing in the floodwater at the backdoor of her home.
The child was last seen at 7 p.m. on Sunday night and crews searched until past midnight.
The search resumed and widened on Monday, and reportedly the girl cannot swim.
On Monday morning, nearly 3,000 customers in Mississippi were without power due to the tumultuous weather, according to electric companies.
