MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee emergency officials report 11
more deaths, bringing the death toll from Southern storms to 44.
The deaths reported so far are in Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Scores of people have been hurt. Authorities have been searching
in the dark for survivors and victims.
The twisters wiped out homes, shredded warehouses and damaged a
mall near Memphis.
Storms also damaged a dormitory at Union University in Jackson,
Tennessee, trapping students who talked by phone to rescuers who
were trying to dig them out.
The governor of Arkansas calls it "an extraordinary night."
In Southaven, Mississippi, a police official describes the
damage at an industrial warehouse as looking "like a bomb went
off."
