quote:15 Dead in Violent Weather in 3 States
ST. LOUIS – Powerful storms roared through middle America again on Wednesday, with weak tornadoes touching down in isolated spots and severe thunderstorms threatening such strikes in several states.
The National Weather Service issued tornado watches and a series of warnings in a dozen states, stretching northeast from Texas though the Mississippi River valley to Ohio.
"Everybody's working as fast and furious as possible," said Beverly Poole, the chief meteorologist at the National Weather Service's office in Kentucky, which covers southeastern Missouri and southern Illinois. "This is just a wild ride."
There were no immediate reports of deaths from the new round of storms, though authorities reported dozens of minor injuries following brief tornado touchdowns in Missouri and Indiana.
Wednesday's storms followed a deadly outbreak Tuesday in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas that killed at least 15 people. The nation's deadliest single tornado since 1950 killed 125 on Sunday in the southwest Missouri city of Joplin.

In Greensburg vielen ook "maar" 11 doden. Wat ook een wonder was.
quote:Of the 183 patients at St. John’s on Sunday night, five died as a result of the tornado, a hospital official said. All had been in critical condition before the storm, he said.
Gruwelijk verhaal inderdaad.quote:Op donderdag 26 mei 2011 10:53 schreef mouzzer het volgende:

Bizar om te lezen wat er zich vlak voor en tijdens de tornado in het ziekenhuis afspeelde.
quote:By the time the three-quarter-mile-wide tornado — among the deadliest in the nation’s history — moved on, the hospital was a scene of stunned chaos. Nearly every patient was splashed or covered with blood from all the glass, and people in the emergency room on the first floor were sucked out of windows into the parking lot. Even a backup generator failed, leaving ventilators and other medical equipment without power in dark rooms.
zeker indrukwekkend.quote:

Joplin kan de 2e plek nog halen van dodelijkste tornado's ooitquote:Nog 232 vermisten in Joplin
Na de tornado die zondag onder andere de stad Joplin (Missouri) teisterde, worden in die stad nog steeds 232 mensen vermist. Mogelijk zijn sommige van die vermisten reeds opgenomen in de dodentol van de ramp, die minstens 125 doden heeft geëist. Dat deelde de plaatselijke overheid vandaag mee. Van die 125 doden is tot dusver namelijk slechts één persoon formeel geïdentificeerd.
quote:OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Three of the seven tornadoes that struck Oklahoma and killed 10 people this week have been upgraded from EF-3 to EF-4. A fourth tornado has now been rated an EF-2.
An EF-4 tornado has wind speeds of 166 to 200 mph and is the second highest rating for tornadoes.
The National Weather Service on Friday said EF-4 tornadoes were produced Tuesday from one storm that stretched from Binger to Guthrie, a second from Chickasha to near Moore, and a third from Washington to Goldsby.
An EF-3 tornado with winds between 136 and 165 mph occurred at Canton Lake and the EF-2 twister struck near Stillwater.
