Rescue and cleanup crews picked through wreckage in several states on Sunday after another batch of storms roared through the middle of the country, doing heavy damage in Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee.

President Bush, wrapping up a weekend vacation in Santa Fe, N.M., told reporters he planned to visit stricken sites, including at least one tornado site in Missouri.

A fraternity house at Culver-Stockton College and dozens of buildings in the surrounding town of Canton, Mo., were hit when a tornado swept through Saturday evening.

The steel dome of the college’s administrative building lay crumpled on a lawn Sunday, and the gymnasium, which had held about 1,000 people for graduation hours before the storm hit, was in ruins. Parts of a nearby mobile home park in the town of 2,500 were unrecognizable, but authorities reported no life-threatening injuries.

“All the furniture, the fridge. I haven’t even found the bed yet. The sink is way over there. It’s gone. It’s all gone,” said James Rockhold, 37, who had taken his family to a safer building after hearing about the storm.

Three teens in Iowa survived nearly unscathed Sunday after a tornado lifted the farmhouse they were hiding inside and set it down more than 30 feet away.

A van drives past the demolished fieldhouse on the campus of Culver-Stockson College in Canton, Mo. A tornado hit the area Saturday, marking another week of destructive tornadoes tearing through the Midwest and South. Nobody was in the fieldhouse when the tornado hit. More than 300 tornadoes have been reported across the Midwest since the start of May, and at least 48 people have died in the storms.

It “was sucking the house away,” said Larry Joe Starks, 19, who jumped inside a bathtub with a friend for protection, while his cousin hid in a closet. “It pretty much picked it up and slammed it down like a basketball.”

More than 300 tornadoes have been reported across the Midwest since the start of May, and at least 48 people have died in the storms. The toll includes an Oklahoma man who died Sunday, becoming the first victim of twisters that swept through central Oklahoma on Thursday and Friday. About 145 injuries were reported in the Oklahoma tornadoes.

In addition, a 5-year-old West Virginia boy was found dead Sunday in a flooded creek, and authorities said a 13-year-old Alabama girl was killed when a tree fell on her home during the storms.

Meteorologists say it was the most active week of tornadoes on record, easily eclipsing the most recent comparable rash, in 1999.
