     GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Authorities in central North Carolina
are searching the wreckage caused by a reported tornado that killed
one person and injured three others.
     A possible tornado touched down on the outskirts of Greensboro
late yesterday as severe storms swept across the Southeast,
damaging homes and businesses in at least four other states.
     Officials say one person in a small truck was killed after the
vehicle was overturned in a parking lot west of Greensboro.
     Yesterday, an apparent tornado also wrecked a shopping area in
Mississippi and strong winds flipped a mobile home in Alabama. In
south-central Tennessee, at least four homes and a few barns were
damaged.
     Up to 60 homes were damaged in northeastern Virginia from what
may have been a tornado. Portions of Virginia and Maryland are
under a flood warning this morning.
