"Grief, Resilience After Storms Rip Through States, Killing 39" [1]
"With dozens dead and scores of buildings reduced to rubble, residents of the Midwest and South on Sunday were assessing the damage that a series of vicious twisters left behind last week. By the time the powerful storm system faded, 39 were dead: 21 in Kentucky, 13 in Indiana, three in Ohio and one each in Alabama and Georgia."
"'The damage I saw yesterday was the worst I've seen. ... It was a war zone, debris everywhere, buildings destroyed, other buildings just the walls standing, roofs gone. It was a terrible sight,' Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear told reporters, describing his visit to the tornado-ravaged town of West Liberty."
CNN had the story March 4, 2012.
