>> welcome to al jazeera america. i'm stephanie sy. it's been called one of the worst late season storm systems to hit america's heartland possibly in decades, leaving death and destruction across 12 states. the images tell half a story. in a few hours the midwest was rocked by 75 tornados, with wind speeds topping 275 miles per hour. hundreds of thousands are without electricity. in some community they lost everything. on monday families returned to the rubble that was once home. the worst of the damage was in central and southern illinois - entire neighbourhoods were flattened there. that's where most of the deaths occurred. six were killed in the state, including an elderly couple found in a farmhouse. two died in mich gans. one a teenager who picked up a

downed powerline. ashar quraishi has more. >> 309 sheridan road was a home. now it's an address. dave's elderly grandparents lived here for decades. >> i came here when i was five or six. >> luke knew the grandparents survived the twister. he made the drive from chicago to collect memories. among them framed family photos - glass intact. >> this is my grandfather. >> the storm ripped through different parts of the town of 35,000. in pekin 150 homes were damaged - 48 uninhabitable. >> it cut a path through the north side - bounced, hit several different neighbourhoods. this is one of the worst as far as the most homes in one area. >> when the storm hit dave's grandfather and his wife were

pressed against the fridge as the sky opened up above them. >> she turned around, walked in and the garage door came flying off as she walked back into the house. she just put her arms around him, stood there and weathered the storm. >> the wind ripped bricks from the facade, prop peling a security poll through the house, but it was not strong enough to tear dave's grandparents from their arms. >> illinois had over three dozen moderate-strength tornados since 1895 - but none as strong as sundays. >> supplies have not reached some parts of the philippines 12 days after the typhoon hit. 4,000 have died, 4 million are homeless - more than those displaced about hurricane
