I guess they have ammended the death toll again. This is terrible.
NEWTON, Ga. - A violent storm system that ripped apart an Alabama high school as students hunkered inside later tore through Georgia, hitting a hospital and raising the
death toll to at least 19 across the Midwest and Southeast.
Eight teenagers died when a tornado struck Enterprise High School in Alabama, blowing out the walls and collapsing part of the roof, Mayor Kenneth Boswell said Friday.
In parts of Enterprise, "it looks like ground zero, where there's just nothing left," Boswell told NBC's "Today" show.
Another person was killed elsewhere in the city.
In Georgia, a tornado apparently touched down near the Sumter Regional Hospital in Americus,
117 miles south of Atlanta, killing at least two people there and injuring an undetermined number of others, said Buzz Weiss of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency. Hospital spokesman Ed Farr said by telephone that a tornado had struck the building but had no time to discuss details.
"We're trying to move patients and trying to stabilize things for our patients," Farr said.
Six more people were killed late Thursday in the town of Newton, in Baker County, and several homes were destroyed, Fire Chief Andy Belinc said early Friday.
