TORNADOES
Federal officials joined state and local in touring tornado-damaged
areas and estimating needs, noted NBC
CBS from Brandenburg,
Ky. noted 75% of town was destroyed and there was "wholesale death, 11
but the determined town mayor Ross on film says they're down on their
hands and knees, but they're coming back. In the freezing rain,
Sat, it was clear they have a long way to go, said CBS
UPI says
Brandenburg looks like history says Vicksburg looked at its surrender.
Houses are splintered, as if hit by cannon shells. But there's a
fierce pride in this part of US, and already talk of rebuilding. Secy
Lynn said: "It's as severe as I've seen. It looks like a scythe cut
across the landscape
When you look at a little town like this and you
see houses you know've been there for years and have seen one family
2 families -- 3 generations in them, in 45 seconds wiped out, it
can't help but get to you. "
Wires noted Lynn and other fed. officials said damage to insured
properties is over $500M w/6-7, 000 homes destroyed or uninhabitable.
He promised speedy relief and noted $500M figure didn't include
uninsured damage or damage to Govt. bldgs.
Thomas Dunne, head of Fed'l Disaster Assistance Admin. said
RN authorized whatever money is necessary and assured him if there's
not enough, more will be requested. "Money isn't an issue, 11 Dunne
said. "That's something we're not worried about. Top priority is
to be responsive. "
Lynn was astounded at destruction: "You can see pictures of havoc
a tornado wreaks, you can read about it, but you can never feel full
impact til you see it. It's unbelievable. " And, in another part of federal
effort not noted by nets, Lynn said before RN left for Paris, he said
he wanted reports on Relief. "RN's very concerned about the suffering,
and we've been instructed to do everything we can to speed relief, 11
Lynn said. He reported RN told him to tell people the relief is "top
priority. 11
