focus tuesday: The 23 people killed in the nation's deadliest tornado in nearly six years came into focus Tuesday with the release of their names by the coroner, according to Toronto Star. They included 6-year-old Armando Hernandez Jr., known as AJ, torn from his father's arms two days after singing in his first-grade class musical; 10-year-old Taylor Thornton, who loved horses and was visiting a friend's home when the twister struck; and Jimmy Lee Jones, 89, who perished along with his wife of six decades, Mary Louise, and one of their sons. Relatives said one extended family lost 10 members. Just keep those families in your prayers, Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said, two days after the disaster.
