According to the reports, it is the worst natural disaster (loss of life) since Katrina:
http://wtaq.com/news/articles/2011/apr/29/loss-of-life-over-300-in-tornado-outbreak/300 so far, but as the rubble is sifted through, hopefully that number will not rise...pales compared to Japan of course, but still truly horrible (and terrifying).

>I take it you are OK, which is good. (Oh, wait, the Isle of Man is far away from where the tornadoes struck <g>). The news stories said parts of North Carolina were hit, although not as badly as Alabama and Mississippi. 300 dead -- I could look it up but that has to be pretty well up there in the history of tornadoes. Usually they blow through one at a time and hit one unlucky house or street. This was a cluster of them, as though they had developed the ability to mutate themselves like in some horror movie.
