The Nation : Heavy Rain, Fatal Tornado Batter South

Torrential rains battered the South, where a tornado also killed a woman and an infant, injured a dozen more people and destroyed a church in a 10-mile rampage near the southern Georgia town of Moultrie. Most of the damage and both deaths occurred at a mobile home park. The tornado tore through a stand of timber after wrecking the mobile homes and then demolished the Bethlehem Schley Baptist Church, police said. The heavy rains--more than 5 inches in metropolitan Atlanta in 24 hours--prompted the National Weather Service to issue flood watches and warnings about earthen dams in most of the Southern states. Some roads in south central Tennessee were closed under several inches of water. Elsewhere, snow was predicted in Montana, and warnings were issued to ranchers in northern Wyoming where livestock could become vulnerable to cold gusty winds and rain changing to snow.
