Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms have swept through central parts of the United States, killing at least eight people and destroying many homes.

The worst-hit areas were in Iowa. Seven people died when a tornado hit two towns north-east of Des Moines.

In Minnesota, a storm flattened several homes near St Paul, killing a child.

The US tornado season - which peaks in the spring and early summer and affects many mid-Western states - has been particularly deadly this year.

The severe weather was caused by a slow-moving storm system that brought high winds and hail from Texas to Minnesota.

In Iowa, the towns of Parkersburg and New Hartford - about 80 miles (130km) from Des Moines - were directly hit by a powerful tornado.

Taking shelter

At least five people died in Parkersburg, where many buildings were reduced to rubble - including most of the town's high school .
