米南部で竜巻発生、45人死亡
米南部の諸州が4月14日から16日にかけて竜巻を伴う大型の暴風雨に襲われ、45人が死亡した。
U.S. storms leave 45 dead in destruction's wake
Rescue crews searched for survivors in wind-blasted landscapes April 17 in North Carolina, the state hardest hit by a storm system that spawned dozens of tornadoes from Oklahoma to Virginia and left at least 45 people dead.
The storm claimed its first lives April 14 in Oklahoma, then roared through Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Authorities have said seven died in Arkansas; seven in Alabama; two in Oklahoma; and one in Mississippi. In Virginia, local emergency officials reported seven storm-related deaths.
In North Carolina, Gov. Beverly Perdue declared a state of emergency and said the 62 tornadoes reported were the most since March 1984, when a storm system spawned 22 twisters in the Carolinas that killed 57 people — 42 in North Carolina — and injured hundreds. (AP)
