By JAY REEVES The Press ARAB. Ala. A tornado ripped across North Alabama before dawn Thursday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 100.

Teams looking for more victims in the rubble found a baby unharmed beneath two wrecked trailers. The dead included a 4-year-old girl, the coroner said. About an hour before the tornado hit, lightning struck the office of the National Weather Service in Huntsville. The service's Birmingham office was able to issue a warning at 5 a.m., minutes before the twister raced through Arab, but police didn't have time to warn everyone. Little warning "Normally they give us a siren warning, but they didn't this morning," Arab resident Karen Berry said.

"There was nothing." There was just the howl of the wind in the dark sending debris smashing through windows, tearing off roofs, pulling trees from the soil and demolishing trailers, homes and lives. In the aftermath, rescue crews searched for people possibly trapped in the wreckage, rain pounded flattened barns, pink insulation hung from trees and yet more wind shook cars creeping over littered roads. No more victims were found just one small miracle. "We found a 1-year-old baby under two trailers," fireman Robert Reynolds said. "He was sitting there, not making a sound." '94 storm killed 22 The last deadly funnel cloud that struck Alabama hit on Palm Sunday a year ago, killing 22 people, most in a church about 60 miles from Arab.

When the Huntsville weather service office went down, Birmingham took over watching the radar, and the weather service said there was no delay in picking up the tornado and issuing a warning. Police got the warning through deputies in a nearby county and "AX UV INDEX Too Hugo Berry of Arab, searches through the wreckage of three mobile homes and a wood-frame house that were tossed into a pile by a tornado that struck before dawn Thursday.

all killed in separate locations, Marshall County Coroner Dempsey Hibbs said. Hospitals stay busy Hospital officials said 66 people were treated Thursday morning, with 13 admitted and four transferred to Huntsville for additional care, and that they knew of 40 other people treated at two other hospitals. The tornado apparently hit a subdivision in the rural community of Joppa, where about a dozen injuries were reported, and then moved on to Arab, some three miles east, authorities said. The tornado lifted Ricky and Di-anne Fortenberry's wooden A-frame house from its cement foundation, carried it about 40 feet and dropped it on a trailer while the couple clung to their bed. Like the baby, the Fortenberrys escaped serious harm.

"They had to dig us out," she said, standing atop the splintered rubble that had been her home and pointing to the mattress where she and her husband had been sleeping when the storm woke them. As she spoke, a little neighbor girl sat in a car nearby and cried.
