Tornadoes Rip Through


AT least 45 people have been killed as a  powerful storm whipped up tornadoes in its third day across parts of the  southern, central and eastern United States, local media reported.

The tornadoes left a trail of destruction in North Carolina Saturday,  leveling homes and businesses and knocking out power, the NBC television  network reported today.

The fast-moving storm toppled trees and power lines, tore roofs off houses and scattered tractor-trailers across highways.

Some two dozen tornadoes were reported in the southern states of  Mississippi and Alabama on Friday, a day after 15 twisters struck in  Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, the National Weather Service said.
