Tornadoes and storms cause deaths, damage in Midwest
The Associated Press
CREST HILL, III. — National Guardsmen and fire officials searched a muddy cornfield yesterday for more victims of tornadoes that flattened scores of homes and killed at least 24 people.
The dead included at least nine people found near a demolished apartment complex where six rescuers and firefighters Lock Fire Chef Dave Martis said.
At least 306 people were treated at hospitals after the cluster of tornadoes touched down in four spots Tuesday afternoon, cutting an eight-hike trail of destruction leading to the northern Illinois city of Joliet. At least 11 people were listed in critical condition yesterday.
In nearby Plainfield, residents began returning to the rubble of their homes.
"It was like an eggbeater went
through the inside of the house," said 41-year-old Bruce Marshall as he tried to fashion a makeshift cover for his rooftop home.
Gov. James R. Thompson declared Will County a state disaster area, and requested that President Bush provide additional disaster to provide additional relief.
"Nothing in my personal experience . . . compares with this." Thompson said during a tour of Plainfield yesterday.
Illinois Treasurer Jerry Cosentino announced that the state will provide at least $25 million for low-interest loans to tornado victims.
Elsewhere in the Midwest, thunderstorms Tuesday halted power to 70,000 customers in central and western Ohio. A tornado touched down near Indianapolis on Saturday and storms that ripped through northern Indiana left at least one
person dead. Pat Jones, 27, was killed when the house he was building in South Bend collapsed.
At least two tornadoes were spotted in northwestern Pennsylvania, but no injuries were reported.
Preliminary tallies made in the dark from the tornadoes in Illinois suggested more than 100 houses were destroyed, in addition to the apartment complex and a high school. The storms knocked out power to 17,000 homes and businesses, tossed crops like toys and flattened crops.
"Cars were flying all over the place," said Tony Aloisio, who was driving by and stopped to help.
About 30 Guardsmen took up positions in the three affected communities overnight and 150 were to arrive later in the day to search for victims in a security, said Col. Phil Becker, a National Guard brigade commander.

"The first time I saw a Macintosh,I was immediately hooked. It's a work of art.I saw the student pricing and my next move was obvious: get one.
"Some other computers are cheaper,but they're a pain to learn,and working on them can be a grueling experience. Last year,a friend bought another kind of computer against my advice and has used it for maybe 15 hours.What a waste.
Macintosh, on the other hand, is a logical extension of the mind. It lets you concentrate on what's in your paper, not on how to get it on paper. You can create professional-looking documents in minutes, and you lose the fear of learning new programs because they all work in the same way. Once you've worked with a Macintosh, there's no turning back."
