President Obama and the first lady determination travel to the south this morning, following the deadly storms that left more than 300 dead across six states this week. Obama will visit the hardest hit state, Alabama, where at least 210 people were killed. Elsewhere in the region, Mississippi report 32 fatalities, Tennessee had 34, Georgia with at least 15, Virginia had 5 and Arkansas with 13.
"In a matter of hours, these deadly tornadoes took mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors, even entire communities," Obama said Thursday. Obama is expected to tour the debris while on his way to Cape Canaveral for the launch of the space shuttle Endeavour in Florida. He pledge full federal government support on behalf of all those affected by the storms and signed a disaster declaration for Alabama to assist in recovery and clean up pains from the tornado destruction.
