Poo, if you are referring to the 2007 Groundhog Day tornado, I think you meant to say no fatalities in TV. There were numerous injuries in TV, mostly from flying glass and debris, about 25 of which were serious enough to require medical attention. And unfortunately, the tornado went on towards the coast killing 21 in all, mostly those living in older mobile homes.
