THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: At least 45 people have been killed after a powerful storm over the weekend whipped up tornadoes in seven southern US states.
The tornadoes left a trail of destruction in North Carolina, flattening homes and businesses and causing power cuts.
The fast-moving storm toppled trees and power lines, tore roofs off houses and scattered farm trailers across highways.
Some two dozen tornadoes were reported in the southern states of Mississippi and Alabama on Friday, a day after 15 tornadoes struck in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, the US National Weather Service said. » | Sunday, April 17, 2011
