"Tornadoes tore their way across Kentucky and Illinois early on Mother's
Day and continued a record-breaking count of 395 tornadoes that had been
sighted in the USA during the first 10 days of May.

''It's the longest stretch of outbreaks that I can recall,'' said Dan
McCarthy, meteorologist for the federal Storm Prediction Center. ''It's
been an incredible week,'' said McCarthy, who has been in the weather
business for 25 years.

The storms broke a record set in 1999, when 188 tornadoes struck the nation
from May 1 through May 10."
