many residents of the deep south are spending an uneasy night with the possibility of more tornadoes. at least three touched down last night in eastern mississippi and western alabama, damaging homes and businesses. one of the trees knocked down fell on to a vehicle trapping the passengers. others took down power lines. no serious injuries were reported, as well. and all the rainwater in arkansas is causing flooding and in jonesboro, it washed out a major road. look at that. a long-time resident says it's not the first time he's seen the road flooded but it's the first time the water took the road with it. the washout may have been triggered by an accident at that spot or the accident may have caused that -- by that huge gap. overseas now to india where there's a desperate search under way for survivors over an overpass collapse. a surveillance camera catching cars waiting to pass, and then the road above crashing down on them. dozens of people have been pulled out alive but officials fear more are buried in the rubble. at least 22 people were killed.

the study of 93 former players looked at head injuries serious enough to be classified as a concussion and those less serious. but researchers at boston university cautioned that the study was not definitive and meant to be only a first step. and instead of hat trick, it was a rat trick. the florida panthers hockey team gave away 10,000 rubber rats last night. the reason? they're really too complicated to explain. >> after the panthers scored their first goal, fans started throwing the rats onto the ice. the refs threatened to hit the home team with a delay of game penalty. so, then the new jersey devils fans at the game threw the rubber rats onto the ice. >> it didn't work despite the two rat penalties, florida won, 3-2. you know, 20 years ago the panthers got into the stanley cup finals, but before the first game, one of the players killed a rat in the locker room with a stick. so, that's why the successful season was called the year of the rat.
