In the lower 48 the tragedy of the tornadoes now realizes the loss of an entire family.


Angel Babcock, (click title to entry - thank you) 14 months, died in hospital after being found with severe head injuries following a deadly storm which tore apart her family's mobile home in New Pekin, southern Indiana, on Friday evening.
Her tragic story ignited international sympathy. Twenty members of her extended family including both sets of grandparents were at her bedside as her life support machine was turned off at 4.10pm.
She was discovered by rescuers in the dark near the town of Salem, in a field which some reports suggested was as much as 10 miles from her home.
Other sources said that the distance was less, but that Angel's initial survival remained a miracle given the severity of the winds....
