   Britnie  Turner  stands on top of a submerged car as Nick Howell takes
   her  picture in Nashville, Tenn. Seven people were killed in Tennessee
   and  four  in  northern  Mississippi  by a line of storms that brought
   heavy flooding and tornados to the region, 2 May 2010.

   Severe  storms  and flooding in three southern U.S. states have killed
   at least 15 people.
   Heavy  rains  hit  the  states of Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky,
   causing  flooding  that  stranded  residents,  blocked  roads and left
   thousands of people without power. Â
   Downtown  Nashville (Tennessee), a popular area for tourists, has been
   evacuated.   Cumberland  River,  which  runs  through  the  city,  is
   expected to crest Monday.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters.
