Severe Weather CarvesDeadly Path Through SouthApr 27, 2011 8:35 PM EDT
A wave of thunderstorms with winds blowing near hurricane force strafed the South Wednesday, killing at least 9 people from Arkansas to Alabama, including a father struck by a tree limb while protecting his daughter at a Mississippi campsite.
The latest round of severe weather Tuesday night and early Wednesday damaged homes in a rural Texas community and spread destruction into Georgia and Tennessee. An earlier flare-up of storms this week had already killed 10 people in Arkansas and one in Mississippi.
On Wednesday morning, a Louisiana police officer on a camping trip was killed by a tree limb while shielding his daughter from the high winds at a state park in northern Mississippi, Choctaw County, Miss., Coroner Keith Coleman said. The daughter was not hurt.
