據英國《每日電訊報》報道，紐約市政府日前部分公布了9作者: 水影兒 時間: 2006-4-4 02:48 標題: Tornadoes, hail hit south, central U.S.; 27 dead At least 23 fatalities reported in Tenn. as crews search for bodies, survivors
NEWBERN, Tenn. - Thunderstorms packing tornadoes and hail as big as grapefruits ripped through eight U.S. states, killing at least 27 people, injuring scores and destroying hundreds of homes.
Tennessee was hit hardest, with tornadoes striking five western counties Sunday and killing 23 people, including an infant and a family of four.
Most of the deaths were along a 25-mile path stretching from Newbern, about 80 miles northeast of Memphis, to Bradford, officials said. The Highway Patrol sent teams with search dogs to the area Monday to check what remained of the homes and businesses for anyone who might be trapped in the rubble.
Severe thunderstorms, many producing tornadoes, also struck parts of Iowa, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. Strong wind was blamed or at least three deaths in Missouri. A clothing store collapsed in southern Illinois, killing one man.
The weather service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, said it had preliminary reports of 63 tornadoes.
Tennessee officials estimated 1,200 buildings were damaged in one county alone, and Newbern alderman Robert Hart said witnesses described the tornado that hit his town as being "almost a mile wide."
About a half-dozen tornadoes struck Arkansas and one destroyed nearly half of the town of Marmaduke, according to a fire department official.
In mid-March, tornadoes spun off by another huge storm system killed nine people in Missouri and injured dozens in Illinois. Initial reports indicated that system was responsible for more than 100 twisters in five states from Oklahoma to Illinois, the National Weather Service said.
'I heard a roaring'
In hard-hit Newbern, Tenn., Betty Sisk, her 13-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son had little chance to take cover from the storm at their home.
「By the time the (tornado) sirens started going off, it was at our back door,」 Sisk said Monday. 「I didn』t hear a train sound, I heard a roaring.」
She and the children ran into a closet.
「The next thing I knew, everything was falling apart,」 Sisk said.
The tornado blew apart the home and flung the Sisks into their yard, where they huddled in the grass until it passed over. Sisk said she watched as the tornado hit and damaged the Jimmy Dean Foods sausage plant across the street.
Nothing remained of Sisk』s wood-frame home Monday except for the concrete steps.
Right on time
A nearby house was destroyed, and Sisk said she had been told the elderly couple who lived there had died. Another neighbor』s home was sitting on its lawn, blown about 30 feet off its foundation.
Paula Kemp, who lives on a small farm outside Newbern, said TV reports had warned of bad weather through the evening and the tornado reached her property 「right at 7:45」 Sunday night, just as the reports had predicted.
She saw the tornado move over a ridge line and a pond on her property before destroying the barn. She and her husband, Steve, crawled into the bathtub with their dogs, she said.
「I thought it was going to lift us up,」 Kemp said. 「I』ve seen the aftermaths of tornadoes but I』ve never been in the middle of one.」
Her house was still standing but the storm blew out all its windows.
The Christ United Methodist Church, which celebrated its centennial in 2005, was reduced to a pile of red bricks across the street from the fire hall. No one was inside the church when it caved in, officials said.作者: 水影兒 時間: 2006-4-4 13:16

NDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (CNN) -- Police were hunting suspects Friday in the slayings of seven extended family members, including three children, gunned down with assault rifles in a crime authorities called Indianapolis' worst in decades.
Authorities have identified one suspect, 28-year-old Desmond Turner, and said they believe there is at least one more.
"He'd gone there to rob the home and decided while he was there to execute everybody at the same time, unfortunately," Sgt. Matthew Mount, a police spokesman, told The Associated Press.
Witnesses told police they saw as many as three or four men running from the back of the home, AP reported.
Police appealed to anyone who might have known the victims or the suspect to contact them.
"This incident has shocked our police department and shocked our city," said Indianapolis Police Chief Michael Spears. "We do not have these kinds of crimes."
"We haven't seen anything like this in Indianapolis in recent memory," Deputy Mayor Steve Campbell told AP. "The I.P.D.[Indianapolis Police Department] folks are saying you have to go back 20, 30 years to find anything like this."
The victims, found by officers responding to a call of shots fired about 10:15 p.m. Thursday, included four adults and three children, all Hispanic.
Police identified the adult victims as Emma Valdez, 46; her husband, Alberto Covarrubias, 56; Flora Albarran, 22, Valdez's daughter; and Magno Albarran, 29, Flora's husband. The children were identified as Luis Albarran, 5, Flora Albarran's son; Alberto Covarrubias, 11, and David Covarrubias, 8 or 9.
The children were found shot to death in the same bed, Deputy Police Chief Tim Foley said. He said police do not know if the children were sleeping there or hiding.
"It was a home invasion ... everyone in the residence was dead," Foley said, displaying pictures of some of the victims.
All the victims appeared to have been shot with assault rifles, he said, and shell casings were found at the scene.
The home was not a "trouble spot," Foley said. Police had only been called there once in recent history, on an alarm check. He said police do not think the killings were gang-related.
Neighbors said the area had declined in recent years and that drug crimes and muggings had become common, according to an AP report.
A police news release gave this account of the night's events, according to AP:
# Flora Albarran had been running errands with a friend before stopping at the house to pick up her son, Luis, about 10 p.m. The boy had spent the evening with his grandmother, Emma Valdez, and other relatives.
# When Albarran walked into the home, her friend, who was waiting in the car, saw a light come on and heard Albarran shout: "Don't do that! My child!"
# She yelled to her friend not to come in the house. That's when the friend heard gunshots inside and Albarran screaming.
# A man holding a long gun stepped on the porch, and the shootings continued inside, the friend told police.
Earlier, police spokesman Sgt. Steve Staletovich said officers on the scene "found a young woman crying that her mother had been shot."
The gunman or gunmen are thought to have entered the home from the front and left the same way, Foley said. Police do not believe they were injured.
The victims were from Mexico but were believed to have been in the United States for at least 10 years, Mount said.
"I didn't know that they were even arguing with anybody," Dodson said. "They go to work every day. They're good people. I just -- I don't see it."
Turner, of Indianapolis, has an extensive criminal history, including convictions for firearm and drug offenses, as well as resisting law enforcement, Mount said. He served about two years in prison for a 1997 conviction and two more for a 2001 conviction.
Authorities believe Turner is still in the area. "We're hoping he's probably lying low right now," Foley said.
Asked if police consider Turner armed and dangerous, Foley said, "Anyone who has killed seven human beings, I consider dangerous."
Turner is believed to have grown up in the same neighborhood where the killings took place, police said.
Police described him as about 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with hazel eyes, a beard with long sideburns and gold teeth.
Spears described Turner as "a very desperate person," and said, "Someone knows where this man is, and we want to know."作者: 水影兒 時間: 2006-6-6 13:22
