The deadliest storms for 40 years have obliterated large swaths of land    from Mississippi to Georgia, killing at least 247 people in six  states,   wiping out homes and businesses and causing a nuclear power  plant to  use  back-up generators.
The death toll, already  staggering,  continues to rise almost every few  minutes as rescue  workers pull  bodies from the rubble. There are fears  it could rise  higher than the  death toll recorded in 1974 when 315  people lost their  lives in a  single day when violent storms rocked  several states.
There  were  reports of more than 160 twisters crashing through the  Southern  states  right up to the Northern states, according to the  National  Weather  Service Storm Prediction Center.
There were 162 dead in  Alabama  alone, the state emergency management  agency confirmed. It was  the  worst hit state that saw an enormous  F5-category tornado rip  through  Birmingham yesterday leaving a path of  devastation in its  wake.
'We  were in the bathroom holding on to each other and holding  on to dear   life,' said Samantha Nail, who lives in a blue-collar  subdivision in   the Birmingham suburb of Pleasant Grove.
