The death toll is expected to rise as Tornadoes kill dozens across US

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/03/tornadoes-kill-29-across-us
<snip>
Tornadoes sweeping across the US midwest and south have flattened small towns and left at least 34 dead, with the death toll expected to rise as many more remain missing.

A wave of twisters in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky crushed entire blocks of homes, ripped up power lines, tossed cars and school buses from the road and destroyed schools.

A four-year-old boy died after being torn from his mother's arms as they sheltered in the basement of their home, while a girl, aged two, is fighting for her life after being discovered lying in a field.

Early on Saturday morning rescuers were beginning to search for missing residents and authorities warned that many more people could be dead.
