Tornadoes Tear Through N. Texas, Killing 3

DALLAS - Tornadoes swept through two North Texas towns after dark, tearing apart brick houses and knocking out power in a path of destruction that left three dead and 10 injured, officials said Wednesday. An elderly couple were found dead in a destroyed home in the tiny town of Westminster, while a teenager was found dead at a separate location, Collin County spokeswoman Lee Hornsby said. Tornadoes struck late Tuesday near the towns of Anna and Westminster, about 40 miles north of Dallas, Hornsby said. Tornadoes were also reported in the Texas Panhandle town of Childress and in southeastern Oklahoma, but no injuries were reported. "I have seen brick houses completely torn apart, a couple of these next to each other, bricks laying on top of a vehicle, another vehicle apparently rolled several times," Hornsby told WFAA-TV in Dallas. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060510/ap_on_re_us/severe_storms
