"OKLAHOMA CITY - It was the most active week of tornadoes on record as
scores of twisters ripped across the nation's midsection, reducing hundreds
of homes and businesses to splinters and piles of loose bricks,
meteorologists said Saturday.

The tornadoes combined with straight-line wind, lightning and floods to
cause 44 deaths from Kansas to Georgia.

Torrential downpours flooded streets and fields in Indiana and forced the
postponement Saturday's qualification for the Indianapolis 500

sites).

By Saturday, about 300 tornadoes had been reported since the start of May,
about 100 more than the most recent comparable rash, in 1999. Until now,
that 1999 barrage had been the record for any 10-day period since
record-keeping started in the 1950s, said Dan McCarthy, warning
coordination meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center. "
