Tornadoes in Midwest and South leave dozens dead, homes leveled

[Updated March 5, 9:14 a.m.]: More than 90 tornadoes tore through the Midwest and South on Friday, well before the expected peak of tornado season.

The line of storms that produced them then roared east Saturday, triggering tornado watches and warnings for parts of the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and South Carolina, but leaving nowhere near the destruction of the previous day.

From Indiana and Kentucky, through Ohio and Alabama and Georgia, homes and businesses were crushed, cars and buses were tossed about, and roads were left clogged by downed trees and power lines.

At least 39 people in five states died, and hundreds were injured. Kentucky suffered the most deaths — 20, followed by Indiana with 14 and Ohio with three, authorities said. Georgia and Alabama each reported one weather-related death.

The storms followed a spate of tornadoes that killed 13 people earlier in the week
