TORNADOES AND SEVERE WEATHER HE CREATED

CNN) -- Tornadoes that roared through parts of Arkansas, Kentucky and
Tennessee killed at least 27 people and injured nearly 100 more Tuesday
night, authorities said.

Union University staff and students search through the rubble of dormitories
destroyed by a tornado in Tennessee.

The storms prompted the early closures of polling places, damaged a
university, a shopping mall, a retirement home and a hospital, and caused
damage that may not be fully apparent until daybreak.

It trapped people in damaged buildings and ignited a fire that sent flames
shooting hundreds of feet into the night sky.

"Rescue crews are going to go all night long," said Matt DeCample, a
spokesman for the Arkansas governor. "Until daylight comes, we're really not
going to know the scope of things."

The storm killed 13 people in four counties in Arkansas, according to the
state's emergency management agency.

In Atkins, Arkansas, three people were killed, including a man, woman and
child in the same family, Pope County Judge Jim Ed Gibson said.

Five others were transferred to local hospitals. Emergency officials
reported a fourth death in Pope County, where Atkins is located.

Gibson said there was widespread damage across the county, and that trucks
and vehicles were overturned by the storm along Interstate 40. The
interstate was briefly closed, he said, but had since reopened.
About 30 National Guardsmen will help with the recovery effort in Atkins on
Friday morning, DeCample said.

The other fatalities in Arkansas were in Izard County where three died. Two
each were killed in Van Buren and Conway counties, and in Stone and Baxter
counties, both of which had one death.

In Tennessee, the tornado trapped college students and retirees in collapsed
buildings and retirement-home communities, said Julie Oaks, a spokeswoman
for the state's Emergency Management Agency.

In Memphis, a tornado swept through the southeastern section of the city,
killing three people and injuring a dozen others, according to emergency
management officials. All three died when part of a warehouse collapsed on
them. At least eight others were injured across the county.

Also hit in the storm was the Hickory Ridge Mall, said Shelby County,
Tennessee, Emergency Preparedness Director Bob Nations Jr.

There were no significant injuries, he said, but added, "The mall
infrastructure is heavily damaged."

Two people were found dead outside a house that had been blown away by the
storm in Castilian Springs in Sumner County, Tennessee, said Jay Austin, the
county's primary death investigator.

Elsewhere in the area, a mother was found dead in a creek bed about 50 yards
from where her house stood, Austin said. Her infant child was found 250
yards away. The baby was taken to a local hospital, Austin said.

Altogether, the storms claimed five lives in Sumner County, bringing the
death toll in Tennessee to 11.

One person was killed in Madison County, Oaks said. Two others died in
Hardin County, according to the local emergency management agency.

At least 50 people were trapped after the storm caused damage to the Jackson
Oaks Retirement Home, Oaks said. Nine students were trapped in a damaged
dormitory at Union University in Jackson, she said.

But the Union University campus was perhaps hardest hit -- classes have been
canceled for two weeks to allow for clean up. "It looks like a war zone,"
said David Dockery, university president. "Cars and trucks thrown from one
side of the campus to the other."

Dockery said the women's dorms were destroyed, along with two academic
buildings. Many other school buildings received lesser damage.

Advance warning of the storm saved lives, he said, giving students enough
time to move to shelters. At one point, 13 were trapped, but there were no
severe injuries.

About 3,300 students attend the school with 1,200 living on campus.

Company officials believe a tornado hit a compressor station for the
Columbia Gulf Transmission company in Hartsville, Tennessee, about 40 miles
northeast of Nashville, setting off a spectacular natural gas fire.

The station boosts the pressure of natural gas that is piped through the
station and on to mid-Atlantic and northeastern states, he said.

"It looks like a tornado touched down ... went through our compressor
station yard," Columbia spokesman Kelly Merritt said, tearing away engines
used to push the gas through the pipeline.

The blaze could be seen in the night sky for miles around, with flames
shooting "400, 500 feet in the air," said Tennessee Emergency Management
spokesman Donnie Smith.

The station was damaged significantly but there were no reports of injuries
or fatalities, said Merritt. "We would not have had any employees there
(overnight)," Merritt said.

The blaze was put out early Wednesday morning, according to Merritt.

Near the facility, a tornado flattened the home of Dara Reasonover.

"It just took the house and everything and my horses and my dog," a shaken
Reasonover said as the glow of the fire lit the sky behind her. "I don't
know if they're alive or dead, but we'll make it."


The National Weather Service said the roof was ripped off a hangar at
Memphis International Airport. FedEx, which is based in Memphis, reported
damage to a portion of a roof on a firehouse, but said its daily flights
were not affected.
Storms also ripped through western Kentucky, killing at least three people
at a mobile home park in Muhlenberg County, emergency management officials
said. State emergency spokesman Buddy Rogers said a state of emergency has
been declared in the county and Kentucky National Guard troops have been
deployed.
