WAVERLY, Va. (AP) - Storm systems have brought severe weather to the East Coast and the Midwest.
Tornadoes killed four people and left a path of destruction in Virginia, the hardest-hit state. Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller says a 2-year-old child and two men, ages 50 and 26, were killed in the town of Waverly during the storm.
Police say a funnel cloud left an 8- to 10-mile path of destruction in In Appomattox County, Virginia, where one man was killed.
A powerful storm also brought heavy snow and biting winds to the Midwest, leading to mass flight cancelations at Chicago airports and school closings in several states.
