HENRYVILLE, Ind. — A tree crashed on top of his home, his garage blew away and his treasured 1969 Camaro was destroyed, but local glass installer David Geiger said Saturday that he’s lucky.
“My house is still standing,” explained Geiger, 50, who raced 20 miles home after Friday’s tornado hammered this enclave of less than 2,000 residents to make sure his pregnant daughter was OK. She was.
The death toll rose to 38 Saturday from a series of tornadoes that churned through 10 states Friday, leaving behind a path of death and destruction. The latest tragic tally included 19 dead in Kentucky, 14 in Indiana, three in Ohio and one each in Alabama and Georgia. Tornadoes also were reported in Mississippi, Tennessee, Illinois, North Carolina, and Virginia.
Meanwhile, Guard troops spread out across the states that experienced the most destruction, including Indiana and Kentucky.
