A tornado tore into a mobile home park on the outskirts of Jacksonville, N.C., killing three people as four of the homes were flattened, authorities said. Six other people were injured--three critically--as thunderstorms swept the Carolinas and northern Georgia. The most severe storm hit in the area of the Triangle Trailer Park, just outside Jacksonville. The three killed were a 1-month-old child, a 4-year-old girl and an adult woman, said Doris Martin, a hospital spokeswoman. Tornadoes were reported at Nags Head, N.C., and near Center Hill, N.C., but with no damage.
