(Reuters) -The National Weather Service warned on Thursday of "generational" floods in the U.S. South and Midwest as storms ripped across a swath of the country from Texas to Michigan, whipping up tornadoes and killing two people.

At least 19 tornadoes struck on Wednesday, destroying homes and businesses, injuring at least eight people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands.

That was just "the beginning of a multi-day catastrophic and potentially historic heavy rainfall event", the NWS said.

Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Mississippi faced the threat of a "generational flood event" with some locations forecast to see as much as 15 inches (38 cm) of rain by the weekend, which could cause rivers to burst their banks.
