RadarOnline.com
introduced you on Friday to Phil Campbell, population 1019.  The death toll was then 12.  As of Saturday morning, it has risen to a shocking 30.

That's a full 10 percent of the total estimated death toll from the 160 tornadoes that ripped through the South on Wednesday.

Veronica’s daughter, Las Vegas based nurse Heidi Blessing, told RadarOnline.com: “I’m desperately trying to get home to help my family who have lost absolutely everything in the tornado that hit Phil Campbell.

“My mom has lost her house and her restaurant, Mrs. D’s, which was totally flattened plus my brother Adam’s house was also leveled.

“I managed to get my mom on the phone for a short time and she told me: ‘At least we are alive things can be replaced.’ “She just huddled down in the middle of her house as the tornado ripped it apart but miraculously she survived.

“Despite of everything we are lucky because none of my family were killed. Six of my mom’s neighbors perished in the tornado and the death toll now stands at 30 people.”

President Barack Obama described the loss of life as "heartbreaking" and called the damage to homes and businesses "nothing short of catastrophic."  He promised strong federal support for rebuilding and plans to view the damage on Friday.

Over several days this week, the powerful tornadoes - more than 160 reported in total - combined with storms to cut a swath of destruction heading west to east.

It was the worst U.S. natural disaster since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The album features guest appearances by Boy George, D’Angelo, Q-Tip and Alex Greenwald, to name a few, but the standout title track features none other than Duran Duran’s Simon LeBon crooning “I only want to be in your record collection, and I’ll do anything it takes to get there”, whilst sharing vocal duties with Ronson, who delivers hilarious lyrics like, “My teeth are bright and my hair is clean/I wear Paco Rabanne like I was Charlie Sheen,” all over keyboards by Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes. And working with the ‘80s icons was not lost on Ronson. “Duran Duran were the first band I remember being a real fan of,” he said recently. “I had an Arena lunch box and a Smash Hits sticker book.”……
