US: North Carolina storms death toll at 21

None

A brutal spring storm raged across North Carolina on Saturday, flattening businesses, flipping cars and destroying homes, leaving at least four dead from a system already blamed for killing 21 people in four states.

 

Urban search and rescue teams were also looking for residents who might be trapped in damaged buildings. The 62 tornadoes were the most since March 1984, when a storm system spawned 22 twisters in the Carolinas, killing 57 people — 42 in North Carolina — and injuring hundreds. (AP)
