4/27/11, ABC News:  Severe winds and tornadoes slammed the South Wednesday, killing dozens of people in four states.  Forty-five(plus) tornadoes hit Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee on Wednesday, back to back.  The numbers of known dead began rising in Alabama this evening.  At least 58 were killed in the state on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press after 11 pm ET.  "There are more out there to be confirmed because search and rescue is underway in a number of counties," Alabama Emergency Management Agency Information Manager, Yasamie August, said.  "However, there are still storm systems moving through the county as we speak."  There were at least 11 confirmed dead in Mississippi, ABC News confirmed.  The Associated Press confirmed two deaths in Georgia and one in Tennessee on Wednesday, plus one person killed by the same storm Tuesday in Arkansas.  Mayor Walter Maddox reported 15 dead Wednesday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, a city of approximately 180,000 flattened by an estimated mile-wide tornado.  "We have way over 100 injuries throughout the City of Tuscaloosa," Mayor Maddox said.  "We have hundreds of homes and businesses destroyed and hundreds more damaged."  President Obama declared a state of emergency for the search and rescue response in Alabama, and Governor Robert Bentley told WBMA he expected the President to declare another one to help pay for the cleanup.  As the known death toll rose this evening, forecasters warned people to brace themselves for even worse weather ahead.  The weather system expected the storms to move into Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky by the night and into the Carolinas by Thursday morning.  There have been more than 600 tornadoes reported nationwide during the month of April.  The latest storm pattern has brought in reports of more than 45 tornadoes in five states:  Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Kentucky.

My Comments:  The "last days" warning signs are being issued throughout the world.  God is warning the nations, calling people to prayer and repentance, while there is still time to pray.  The Word of God tells us that these events will become more frequent and more severe (Matthew 24).  We can already see that this is a fact throughout the world.  We need to pray and be ready for the soon coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
