The governor of Tennessee is scheduled Saturday to visit areas hit by a savage line of storms that wrecked homes, killed a mother and her baby and injured dozens of others the day before. Gov. Phil Bredesen, Deputy Gov. John Morgan and U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon, D-Tenn. were among the officials expected to tour the affected areas in Rutherford County.
On Friday afternoon, search teams fanned out across the central Tennessee city of Murfreesboro, looking for anyone trapped in rubble.
Clyde Atkinson, spokesman for the Murfreesboro Police Department, said he believes there were three to five tornado touchdowns mostly in the northern and western parts of the city of about 100,000.
As emergency crews worked their way through neighborhoods, they emblazoned homes with a spray-painted "c," indicating they had been checked. - ABC News Story
