   U.S. weather forecasters are warning that more severe weather is
   possible Friday, after tornadoes cut a path of destruction in the mid-
   and southern U.S., killing 13 people.
   The powerful storm system tore through neighborhoods, flattening homes
   and causing deaths in the states of Illinois, Missouri, and Tennessee
   on Wednesday. Residents are assessing the damage and sifting through
   the wreckage.
   The storm system also spawned tornadoes in Kansas and Kentucky.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
