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.

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.
quote:JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) -- There are now 40 people who remain unaccounted for a week after a massive tornado hit Joplin.
Mike O'Connell, spokesman for the Missouri Department of Public Safety, told The Associated Press on Sunday that the number of unaccounted "just dropped" to 40 because of the latest deceased whose next-of-kin have been notified. The number had stood at about 100.
More than 130 people have been reported killed in the storm that hit Joplin a week ago.
The tornado -- an EF-5 packing 200 mph winds -- injured more than 900 people. Tallying and identifying the dead and the missing has proven a complex and sometimes confusing exercise for authorities and loved ones.
President Barack Obama was traveling to Joplin on Sunday to visit with survivors and family members.

Klinkt niet al te bestquote:'Many injuries' reported in Massachusetts tornadoes'
(CNN) -- At least two tornadoes struck Springfield, Massachusetts, and numerous other communities in the western part of the state Wednesday, leaving behind "many injuries" and extensive damage, the state's governor said.
As many as 19 communities around Springfield, about 90 miles west of Boston, reported tornado damage Wednesday evening, Gov. Deval Patrick told reporters. Patrick declared a state of emergency as the storm system that spawned those twisters moved east, with watches posted all the way to the Atlantic coast until late Wednesday.
"It's been particularly devastating in downtown Springfield," the governor said. He said a local official told him, "You have to see Monson to believe it."
Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Michael Popovics said Springfield, Monson and eight other towns -- Agawam, Charlton, Oxford, Palmer, Sturbridge, West Springfield, Westfield and Wilbraham -- reported severe damage. Sandra Ahearn, a spokeswoman for the Western Massachusetts Electric Co., said 12,000 customers were without power in the utility's service area and that hard-hit areas might not have electricity until the end of the week.
Patrick said he has mobilized 1,000 National Guard troops to assist with cleanup and search-and-rescue operations. The Massachusetts State Police said it had activated dog teams to look for people in damaged buildings and described many streets in Springfield as "impassable" due to fallen power lines and trees.
The damage came amid a wave of heavy thunderstorms that moved through the Northeast on Wednesday afternoon. Tornado watches were also issued for northern Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine until 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Dit is een van die tornado's, bijzonder om te zien hoe het water van alle kanten naar de tornado wordt gezogen.quote:
