VIOLENT storms unleashed tornadoes, high winds and hail in four central US states and killed eight people in Arkansas, including a teenager who died when a tree fell into her bedroom as she slept.
The storms late on Thursday and early Friday ripped off roofs and toppled train cars near Kansas City, Missouri; pelted parts of Oklahoma with hail; and knocked over tents at a popular open-air market in east Texas.

Meanwhile, a tropical cyclone slammed into Burma yesterday, ripping off roofs, felling trees and power lines and forcing the military authorities to close Rangoon airport.

There were no reports of deaths, although meteorological officials said the cyclone could trigger a storm surge of up to 12 feet in coastal areas.
