360 People Missing Following Alabama Tornadoes, Scientists Link Storms to Global Warming 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In Alabama, more than 360 people are reported to still be missing after
last week's devastating tornadoes. Police says it is difficult to know
how many of those reported missing were killed by last week's siege of
tornadoes. The official death toll from the storms is at least 350
people across the South. Meanwhile, a growing number of scientists say
it is important to examine the link between global warming and extreme
weather events, like last week's tornadoes.
