|
Calling the loss of life "heartbreaking," President Obama pledged that victims
|
|
would be provided with federal government assistance after devastating storms
|
|
ripped through southern states, killing at least 284 people.
|
|
|
|
The clusters of powerful tornadoes - more than 160 reported in total -
|
|
combined with storms to cut a swath of destruction heading west to east over
|
|
several days.
|
|
|
|
"We can't control when or where a terrible storm may strike, but we can
|
|
control how we respond to it and I want every American who has been effected
|
|
by this disaster to know that the federal government will do everything we can
|
|
to help you recover and we will stand with you as you rebuild," Mr Obama
|
|
stated at the White House.
|
|
|
|
A state of emergency was declared in Alabame where at least 184 people, and
|
|
where President Obama will now visit on Friday to inspect damage and meet
|
|
local officials.
