QUOTES:
"A powerful band of severe storms stretched from Texas to the Great Lakes
on Sunday, sweeping eastward from Missouri to Kentucky, smashing homes and
downing trees and power lines, authorities said. Eighty-three tornadoes
were sighted Sunday.
An elderly man in Marengo, Indiana, died when a twister hit his mobile
home, the Crawford County Sheriff's Department said. A man was killed in
the St. Louis, Missouri, suburb of Berkeley when heavy winds broke off part
of a tree, causing it to land on the roof of his vehicle as he was driving,
the Missouri State Highway Patrol said. In Tennessee, a 7-year-old girl
died after a wall collapsed in her brick home, according to Roy Griggs,
interim director of the Giles County Ambulance Service. A string of
twisters also ravaged north-central Kentucky and southern Indiana as
weather officials scrambled to issue warnings.
At least seven tornadoes were reported in the Indianapolis area, the
National Weather Service said. The severe weather hindered the crowd
leaving the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. [There are] a lot of houses
damaged, trees down, shopping centers with roofs peeled back," said Alden
Taylor, spokesman for the state Emergency Management Agency. High winds,
not tornadoes, were blamed for downed trees and power lines in east
Tennessee and northwest Georgia in the hours before sunrise Monday."
