|
Displaced residents slept in shelters and officials enacted curfews after violent thunderstorms, including at least one tornado , left a swath of central Florida in shambles and killed 19 people or more.
The storms struck with little warning early Friday , spawning a tornado that ripped roofs and walls off single family homes and threw mobile homes off their foundations.
Officials said the twister hit between 3 and 4 a.m., a time when few people were listening to radio or watching TV to hear tornado warnings issued just minutes before the twister struck. Few communities in the region have warning sirens.
Early Saturday, 13 people were confirmed dead in the Paisley area and six in Lady Lake, emergency officials said. The identities of the victims were not being released, but some were reported to be teenagers. |
