Tornadoes leave trail of destruction in Taxas

Canton: Severe storms including tornadoes have swept through several small towns in East Texas, leaving a trail of overturned vehicles, mangled trees and damaged homes. Authorities believe as many as five people were killed and dozens injured, though they were still assessing the damage from the storms that swept through an area about 80 km east of Dallas Saturday. Video from local television stations showed uprooted trees and overturned cars along rural, wet roadways, along with at least two flattened homes. The tornado flipped pickup trucks at a Dodge dealership in Canton and tore through the business. Fifty-six people were treated at three hospitals and six remained hospitalised. AP
