Deadly tornadoes charge through South, Midwest; 700,000 without power

Punishing storms swept through a large swath of the nation Friday night into Saturday, unleashing deadly tornadoes and carving a path of destruction that killed at least 20 people in the South and Midwest while knocking out power for more than 700,000 customers. The storms were most lethal in Tennessee, a state still reeling from Monday’s horrific school shooting in Nashville that took the lives of a half dozen students and adults.
