QUOTES:
"What remained of Hurricane Jeanne blew through Delaware on Tuesday,
spawning at least one tornado that busted buildings, cars and planes from
the New Castle area to Elsmere. Drenching rains added to the misery,
causing widespread flooding, traffic jams and evacuations.
The tornado wrecked five C-130 cargo planes at the New Castle County
Airport, causing thousands of pounds of jet fuel to spill and damaging
hangars. It tore through an industrial area along Del. 141, sending workers
diving under desks, crowding into first-floor hallways and watching
transfixed as the funnel cloud tossed long strips of metal siding into the
air and onto roads. Windows shattered, walls peeled away, and trees and
light poles snapped.
Thousands of people were without power Tuesday night. Some areas of the
county reported almost 10 feet of water. "
