3COM Weather Report: Toll at least 43 in Fla twisters Monday February 23 8:42 AM EST WINTER GARDEN, Fla., Feb. 23 (UPI) _ Police in east and central Florida have confirmed 43 deaths from a series of powerful tornadoes that ripped through the region overnight. Helicopters circled the area early today looking for more victims as cadaver-sniffing dogs and search crews went door-to-door in an effort to find survivors. Bulldozers were added to the search and rescue operation to sift through the destruction. All area hospitals went on alert for handling mass casualties and the Red Cross opened shelters that were filling quickly as daylight broke, allowing suvivors to pick their way through debris scattered everywhere. In Osceola County, where officials say 27 people died, two apartment complexes were flattened and one man died when his mobile home was thrown onto Florida's Turnpike. Officials said the confirmed toll included 13 dead in Seminole County, two dead and one missing in Volusia County, and one dead in Orange County. At Rod's Fish Camp in Volusia County, authorities said three mobile homes were thrown into the St. Johns River, but two people in the homes were pulled to safety. Winter Garden police Lt. John Johnson said one apartment complex had an airboat thrown into a second-story apartment and a semi-tractor trailer was hurled more than 100 yards and spun around, as cars were stacked on top of each other. Orange County sheriff's Lt. Teresa Everett said at least 100 mobile homes were destroyed in the county. Officials on Florida's Turnpike suspended collection of highway tolls to help keep traffic moving, while Highway 50, the main route through Winter Garden, was closed to all but emergency traffic. Forecasters from the National Weather Service said they were amazed at the intensity of the storms triggered by apparent effects of El Nino that hit the region during Hazardous Weather Awareness Week.
