Rescue crews hunt for tornado survivors

Rescue crews Saturday searched the ruins of small towns in southern Indiana and along country roads looking for survivors of devastating tornadoes. At least 32 deaths were confirmed from Friday's storms, CNN reported. Fifteen people were killed in Indiana, 13 in Kentucky, five in Ohio and one in Alabama. A tornado watch remained in effect early Saturday in the Florida Panhandle, and damage was reported from possible tornadoes in Georgia and North Carolina. Maj. Chuck Adams, a spokesman for the sheriff's office in Clark County in Indiana, said the destruction in towns such as Henryville, Marysville, Chelsea and Paynesville made an estimate of the missing impossible. "Marysville is almost completely gone," he told WHAS-TV in Louisville, Ky. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels visited Henryville, The Indianapolis Star reported. "It does appear that people did have warning," Daniels told reporters, saying some high school students survived because of tornado drills. "But sometimes all things that mere mortals can do aren't enough." Steve Kloepfer of Chelsea told WHAS he decided to drive south to get out of the path of an approaching tornado after watching it on TV. He returned to find his aunt, uncle and their young grandchild were dead, their bodies carried by the storm from their home to a field, and his own house was in ruins.
