Last week the USA suffered one of its largest ever outbreaks of tornado activity. Rescuers are still searching for survivors, but already the number of confirmed fatalities has reached 45
The US National Weather Service tracks individual sightings of tornadoes. In total 250 were logged between April 14 and 16.
