U.S. tornadoes: Residents reel from destruction after deadly storms
Residents across a wide swath of the South and Midwest on Sunday raced to assess the destruction wreaked by storms that dropped possibly dozens of tornadoes and killed at least 26 people in small towns and big cities, as severe weather moved into parts of the Northeast.
Teams from the National Weather Service on Sunday were investigating reports of tornados touching down in New Jersey and Delaware, the president’s home state, where severe weather prompted warnings across a widening area. Numerous homes were damaged and roadways shut down in southern Delaware, authorities said.
Debris lay scattered inside the shells of homes and on lawns: clothing, insulation, toys, splintered furniture, a pickup truck with its windows shattered. “The majority of the damage has been done to homes and residential areas,” said David Leckner, the mayor of Adamsville.Gov. Bill Lee drove to the county Saturday to tour the destruction and comfort residents. He said the storm capped the “worst” week of his time as governor, coming days after a school shooting in Nashville that killed six people including a family friend whose funeral he and his wife, Maria, attended earlier in the day.
