(AP) Emergency crews desperately searched for survivors Saturday after a violent wave of storms swept through the U.S. Midwest and South, flattening some rural communities and leaving behind a trail of destruction: shredded homes, downed power lines and streets littered with tossed cars. At least 38 people were killed.
Amid the destruction, startling stories of survival began to emerge, including that of a baby girl found alive in a field 16 kilometres from her Indiana home and a couple who were hiding in a restaurant basement when a school bus crashed through the building's wall.
