NATIONAL NEWS At Least 10 Dead from Kansas Tornado GREENSBURG, Kan. (AP) - Rescue workers on Sunday searched for anyone still buried in the heaps of splintered wreckage left after a massive tornado obliterated most of this south-central Kansas town. Waves of thunderstorms rippled across the Plains states on Sunday, drenching rubble that the Friday night tornado scattered across Greensburg and threatening tornadoes elsewhere. At least 10 people were known dead from weekend storms - eight in the Greensburg area and two others elsewhere in Kansas - one Friday night and another in violent weather late Saturday, state officials said. Amid the destruction, rescue workers and officials held out hope that death toll wouldn’t rise and that they can rebuild their town, from replacing the destroyed churches down to the town’s fire engines.
