Tornado Rampaging Across Flat Plain of Texas; Laura Bush Turns a New…
CNN International – Apr 24, 2008
WHITFIELD: Let’s talk weather, bad weather, spring weather. Expect the unexpected, if that makes any sense, like this. A tornado rampaging across the flat plain of Dawson County, Texas. It forms from savage thunderstorms that pounded northern and western Texas and 70-mile-per-hour winds and baseball sized hail damaging homes. Take a look at that, downing trees and branches, knocking out power, all of that. And spring snowboarding. Sound interesting to you, Tony? HARRIS: No… And who better than Susan Lisovicz to drive us through the morning right here in the CNN NEWSROOM. WHITFIELD: And of course nasty weather, particularly in the midsection. We’ve heard of some possible tornado activity. Rob Marciano has been keeping a close watch. But it’s a little bit of everything. We have a little bit of snow in the west, which is exciting for the snowboarders and the spring skiers. But let’s talk about the midsection, right? Is that what we’re focusing on right now? (WEATHER REPORT) HARRIS: Want you to send along those I-reports if you would.

Illness hits tornado-stricken family
Rocky Mountain News – Apr 24, 2008
She was on dialysis and oxygen Thursday, but physicians expect her to make a full recovery, her father said. “I was hoping for this year to be a little better, but it didn’t turn out that way,” he said, sitting in the sunshine-splashed first floor of the hospital. On March 28, 2007, a tornado that slammed into Holly in extreme southeast Colorado took dead aim on the Puga family’s mobile home. The twister shredded the dwelling, and hurled Gus, his wife, Rosemary Rosales, and Noelia into a large tree. Gus suffered a broken toe, four fractured ribs, two cracked vertebrae, a broken scapula, nasty cuts and gashes all over his back. Noelia’s face was burned, and she sustained a relatively minor head injury. But Rosemary was badly injured and died later at a Colorado Springs hospital.
