40th Person Killed by Tornadoes Is Found

The death toll from tornadoes that wreaked havoc across central Florida has risen to 40 and the search for one remaining missing person has been suspended, authorities said. Rescue workers in Osceola County found the 40th victim buried beneath hundreds of pounds of debris. He is believed to be college student Craig Paulsen, 23, said Osceola Fire Chief Jeff Hall. Paulsen’s father and a family friend also died when their home was smashed by winds of about 250 mph. The El Nino-related storms, which spawned at least a dozen tornadoes last week, ripped apart mobile home parks and tore roofs off houses near Orlando, seriously injuring 265 people in four Florida counties and causing an estimated $67 million in damage.
