THE death toll from violent storms and tornadoes that raked across a huge swath of the US Midwest and South Friday reached 38 in five states, local media reported last evening.
Emergency crews were searching for survivors of the powerful storm system that spawned at least 90 tornadoes Friday, killing 19 people in Kentucky, 14 in neighboring Indiana, three in Ohio and one in Alabama, officials said. Georgia also reported a storm-related death.
The storms, leaving a trail of destruction and causing millions of dollars in damage, came two days after an earlier round of storms killed 13 people in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Tennessee, bringing the overall death toll to 51.
The National Weather Service has issued a new tornado warning effective until yesterday for southern Georgia and northern Florida, where there could also be a storm of hail up to one inch in diameter.
