Severe Storms Hit the South

A number of severe storms nailed the south part of the U.S. late last night and throughout the day today.  The storm was responsible for at least 6 casualties so far, dozens taken to the hospital, dozens of houses were torn apart and thousands still remain without power.  The multiple tornadoes that hit the areas left debris trails of over 7 miles.  Tornadoes were reported in at least 5 southeastern states and surrounding states were also hit with severe weather, however no tornadoes were reported.  Survivors are saying that it looked like a seen out of "The Wizard of Oz" it happened so quickly.  Many of the areas hit are still in recovery mode from the years earlier tornadoes as well.  Image: Overturned car, destroyed mobile home
