The death toll has now reached 55, according to API, and the SPC has raised their number of tornado reports to over 90. NOAA has made available a preliminary tornado track map from the Super Tuesday Tornado Outbreak, along with an impressive graph of how far we are ahead of the "normal" tornado count for 2008.
We have also made our own little graphic depicting this year's unusual activity...
COMING SOON:A 3-D review of the Tornado Outbreak showing tornado reports, radar and damage video with Google Earth.
Below is a summary video (NO AUDIO) from ABCNewsOne and more raw video of the desruction including incredible damage aerials or ground shots from Union University (Jackson, TN - WRGE), Denmark, TN (WREG)*, Macon County, TN (WTVF)*, and Castalian Springs, TN (WATE):
SCRIPT: "The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency says two people were killed and an unknown number of others injured in the wake of deadly tornadoes that struck Denmark, Tennessee Tuesday night (02-05). A scene of utter devastation unfolded Wednesday morning (02-06) as damage assessments were done by air and on the ground. Some local officials in the Madison County community said they had never witnessed such destruction. A spokesman for the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency says ten people were killed and scores of others injured when a series of storms passed through Macon County Tuesday night (02-05). Tornadoes and super-cell thunderstorms cut a swath of destruction in seven Tennessee counties from Shelby to Macon. The extent of the destruction is still being evaluated. As TEMA officials went into the field Wednesday (02-06) a spokesman said the death toll could rise as rescue personnel move into more rural areas. So far , TEMA has confirmed 24 fatalities statewide and more than 150 others injured by the storms."
