A 54-year-old woman was killed in southeast Kansas when the mobile
home she was in was blown off its foundation. Wilson County emergency
management spokeswoman Cassandra Edson identified the victim of
Friday's storm system as Carol Jacobsen of New Albany. Edson says it
appears the mobile home was "wrapped around a tree.'' Winds in the
area reached 120 mph, destroying the New Albany United Methodist
Church, the town's post office and at least one home.
