| Description: | Tornado: 51 Dead In Wake of Mid-West Twisters As Kansas City suburbs dig out in the wake of disasters, new twisters spawned at a record rate and torrential rains continue the siege of havoc stretched from Indiana to Texas in recent weeks, in which over 53 died, and property and crop damages mounted high into the tens of millions. Night, rescue workers sort through rubble. Day, people walk through piles of lumber and wreckage that used to be homes, try to salvage possessions. Truck with Red Cross on it. Soldier (National Guard?) on patrol. Pan devastated neighborhood. | |
