Death toll from severe storms and tornadoes in central and southern US have reached at least 258 people, after state officials reported 162 deaths in the hardest-hit state of Alabama and 30 deaths in Tennessee http://edition.presstv.ir/TextOnly/detail.aspx?id=177183 US storm death toll hits 258 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 16:55:38 GMT Death toll from severe storms and tornadoes in central and southern US have reached at least 258 people, after state officials reported 162 deaths in the hardest-hit state of Alabama and 30 deaths in Tennessee. "We are up to 162 fatalities," said Yasamie August, public information manager for Alabama's emergency management agency, increasing the state toll of 131 issued earlier by Alabama's governor. In Alabama, as many as one million people were without power on Thursday morning, as emergency workers and 2,000 soldiers search the rubble for survivors. Also on Thursday, the State Emergency Operations Center in Nashville, capital city of Tennessee, announced that 30 deaths have been confirmed across the six counties when thunderstorms and twisters tore through the state on Wednesday. "We had three waves of storms cross the state yesterday starting in early morning, including localized heavy flooding, high winds, thunderstorms and tornados," Tennessee Emergency Management Agency Spokesman Dean Flener said. Eastern Tennessee was the worst hit, with nine deaths each in Bradley County and Hamilton County, six dead in Greene County, and four in Bledsoe. Flener added that emergency responders were searching the worst-hit areas looking for survivors, AFP reported. The US National Weather Service has reported nearly 300 tornadoes since the storm began on Friday, more than 150 on Wednesday alone. A state of emergency has been declared in seven states, and federal aid money is being sent to Alabama, which remains the worst hit state. The storms -- described as the deadliest system of tornadoes to strike the United States since 1974 -- also killed at least 32 people in Mississippi, 13 in Georgia, 11 in Arkansas, eight in Virginia, and another two killed in severe flooding in Missouri, state officials said. |

The incident last week was 97 tornadoes, this time it is 151 tornadoes. And not normal touch and go regular ones, but monster ones. Some they had warning for and others 'just appeared' with no warning at all. Looking at some of the articles at Cnn dot com, there was one chart that showed tornado counts since the 50's. Around the 50's, not too many at all, then it goes UP from there. I figure after the war they started experimenting and messing up the weather from then on out between nuclear bombs and who knows what else. Also consider electrical use by mankind along with 'frequencies' in the air expotentiated since then too, and may have an affect on the ionisphere. However, I do wonder if the sun started acting up about then too. Anyone know? |

Tornado death toll rises to 321 in US "We can't bring those who have been lost back, they are alongside God at this point," Obama said, but pledged "maximum federal help" to cope with massive property damage and recovery costs. http://edition.presstv.ir/TextOnly/detail.aspx?id=177394 Alabama Tornadoes Spur Nuclear Emergency The Brownsferry nuclear plant has had all 6 major 500kV lines to it cut by the recent tornadoes, requiring the emergency cooling system to run on several thousand gallons of diesel fuel per hour to keep three large nuclear reactors, each 2X the Daiichi size, from melting down. http://pesn.com/2011/04/29/9501819_Tornadoes_Spur_Nuclear_Emergency_in_Alabama/ Tornado Update from Alabama The power is out here in Huntsville and over much of northern Alabama. Everything is shut down. Only cell phone service is up, and since I have Verizon broadband on my laptop, I’m spend some of my last 40 minutes worth of battery power to update everyone. http://www.drroyspencer.com/2011/04/tornado-update-from-alabama/ Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant recovering after losing power The severe storms that cut across the Southeast Wednesday night also managed to knock out external power to three nuclear reactors at the Browns Ferry plant. http://www.kltv.com/story/14532245/browns-ferry-nuclear-plant-recovering-after-losing-power Judge says southern Illinois levee can be blown up The Corps plans to decide this weekend whether to blow up the Birds Point levee, depending on the level of water in the river. It will detonate explosives in the levee if the Cairo river reaches 61 feet. At 8 a.m. local time on Friday, it was at 59 feet and was forecast to rise to 60.5 feet, according to the National Weather Service. Missouri plans to appeal the judge's decision. But the approximately 200 Missouri state residents who would be in the path of the flood if the levee is detonated have already been evacuated. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/29/us-weather-floods-missouri-idUSTRE73S3GH20110429 |
