Violent storms shred the Southeast
Palm Sunday turns deadly as weather claims the lives of 43
The Associated Press
PIEDMONT, Ala. — An Easter Week pageant turned into a horror show when a tornado flattened a crowded church, killing the pastor's 4-year-old daughter and 20 other people. Officials yesterday surveyed the wreckage left by a band of storms that poured the Southeast and claimed at least 43 lives.
Deadly twisters and violent thunderstorms battered churches, hundreds of houses and a nursing home on Palm Sunday. Twenty-three people were killed in Alabama, 17 in Georgia, two in North Carolina and one in Tennessee. In addition, a Georgia man died while helping clean up from the storm.
Georgia Gov. Zell Miller took a helicopter tour of some of the damaged areas of his state yesterday. "There's not much you can do when Mother Nature takes over," he said. "You're
kind of helpless."
More rain fell in the Southeast early yesterday. Heavy showers and thunderstorms were in the forecast for the region, with hail and tornadoes possible from central Florida across Georgia and into the Carolinas.
The Goshen United Methodist Church was devastated in seconds Sunday. The pageant and the start of Holy Week had attracted 140 people, far more than the usual turnout of 50. Ninety people were injured — many of whom were trapped in the rubble for as long as an hour.
"The power had gone off, but everyone just kept singing," said Carol Scroggin, who was at the altar leading the drama when the storm struck at about 11:30 a.m. "Nobody had a chance to do anything. It was so quick."
Christa Rhinehart, 16, remembered the song "Jehovah Jireh" filling the air one minute. The next minute, debris began flying through windows, a brick wall crumbled inward and the ceiling crashed down around her.
"I just remember glass breaking," she said. "I started screaming for my
mama, and she was right beside me."
Bricks were slung through the air like balls, hitting victims in the head or covering them in heaps. Coroner Larry Tucker said most of the dead were seated near the outside wall that gave way.
At least seven children were killed. Scroggin said many youngsters were seated beside the wall, waiting their turn to sing in the pageant.
Victims were identified by their clothes as they were pulled from the church: a little girl in a pink dress and matching stockings, a boy in red jeans with a blue-green shirt.
Among the dead was Hannah Clem, the 4-year-old daughter of the church's pastor, the Rev. Kelly Clem. The preacher was with the congregation watching the program and was not injured. Her other child, 2-year-old Sarah, was in the nursery and was not injured.
Twisters damaged two other churches within 30 miles of Piedmont, a town of 6,000 residents about 70 miles west of Atlanta. In Guntersville, Ala., the roof was blown off a nursing home.
Finally, something for college that just got less expensive.
