A deadly tornado ripped through the town of Perryton in the northeast panhandle of Texas early Thursday evening, killing at least three people, according to local media reports, and sending as many as 100 people to the hospital amid a siege of storms rolling through Southern states. David Erickson/AP Perryton Fire Chief Paul Dutcher reported that one of the victims was killed in a mobile home park that took a “direct hit” from a tornado, according to ABC’s Amarillo affiliate. He added that almost 30 trailers had been destroyed as of 7 p.m. Eastern time Thursday.
