A half-dozen twisters ripped through the Weststate Sunday afternoon, leaving behind three people dead, nearly 20 injured and more than 200 buildings damaged or destroyed. "Because of the magnitude of the damage, President Clinton has directed James Lee Witt, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to work closely with the state to assess damages and assist in developing its recovery strategy," Gore said in a statement "During this difficult time, both Tipper and I join the President and the first lady in praying for the victims and their families. "Our thoughts and prayers will be with them, and with all those who have suffered because of the storms, throughout this holiday season." Katherine Thomas, 75, died in Crockett County when a tornado demolished her frame house, authorities said. Walter Person 44, and another man whose identity was not known yesterday died in German-town, a Memphis suburb, when a two-story residence collapsed on a family celebrating the Thanksgiving weekend. Deputy Police Chief Brian Roper said 16 people were in the house when the storm struck in the late afternoon.

Thirteen were hospitalized. Authorities said yesterday that one person believed to be in the house at the time the tornado hit is still unaccounted for.

The storm, which might have been a small tornado, leveled a tobacco barn on Hayes' family's land, sticking its timbers tightly into the ground like fence rails 100 feet from where the barn fell.

"I'm so thankful that everyone in the community seems to be OK," said Hayes, who has spent her entire life in Burwood.

While the old radar only saw very strong tornadoes, Sharp said the new radar can detect whirling storms even when they are too weak to attain tornado status. The new radar has been working since late October, Sharp said.

Tornado-strength winds were measured in Lewis and Hickman counties as well, Sharp said. Emergency management agencies around the state were "impressed" with the accuracy of the new radar, Sharp said. Flooded roads and houses were the biggest problem in Metro, concentrated in West Meade, Green Hills, Inglewood and Hermitage, according to Jim Thacker, director of the Metro Emergency Management Agency. While about an inch and a half of rain fell between noon and midnight Sunday, about an inch of that fell in just one hour, between 8 and 9 p.m., Sharp said. The Red Cross helped two families who had to leave their homes, and several others who needed "clean-up kits," Thacker said.
