Tornado rips through Florida trailer park

A tornado ripped through a trailer park in Florida on Sunday as a dangerous winter storm combining high winds and ice swept through parts of the U.S. Southeast. 27 mobile homes were destroyed and 24 were badly damaged. There were no reports of serious injuries.

Across the region, the storm knocked out power, felled trees and fences, and coated roads with a treacherous, frigid glaze. Tens of thousands of households were without power in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. More than 1,200 flights at Charlotte Douglas International were cancelled – more than 90% of its Sunday schedule.
