[Fredrick Whitfield, Cnn Anchor:] Shiite mourners carry coffins throughout the streets of Baghdad. They are burying victims of Friday's massive suicide bombing at a mosque. At least 75 people are confirmed dead. A suicide car bomb explodes outside a NATO compound in Afghanistan. It's the second such attack in two days. And coalition forces kill two suspected Taliban commanders in their ongoing offensive operations. Three crew members at the International Space Station say goodbye before returning to earth on a Russian spacecraft. They include American astronaut Bill McArthur. He has been on the station at least six months and says he's looking forward to a hot cup of coffee and salad after he arrives. From the CNN center in Atlanta, I'm Fredricka Whitfield. Welcome to CNN LIVE SATURDAY. Ahead this hour, an escaped killer is stopped by police and almost recaptured. We'll tell you how he got away again. And the life of Jesus is a hot property, from "The Da Vinci Code" to the "Gospel of Judas," Jesus sells. And not all Christians are happy about that. But first, it was a night of howling winds. It's a day of adding up, cleaning up and mourning. The deadly storm system that hit the Nashville area yesterday brought new destruction to other parts of the Southeast today. As cleanup efforts continued in Tennessee this morning, officials raised that state's death toll to 12. There are no report of any deaths outside Tennessee, but there was heavy damage in the Atlanta area. Officials are reporting what they call tornado-like damage to a number of suburban homes and businesses. Trees and utility lines were down and tens of thousands of customers lost power. CNN meteorologist Reynolds Wolf has been watching the storm from the CNN Weather Center. And are there any parts of the Southeast still at risk?
[Whitfield:] Well, Tennessee is reeling from the storms, 36 people have been killed there during the entire week alone in weather-related incidents. CNN's Amanda Rosseter joins us live from Charlotte, Tennessee about 50 miles west of Nashville Amanda.
[Amanda Rosseter, Cnn Correspondent:] Hi, Fredricka. Let me set the scene for you here in Charlotte, Tennessee. We are about 45 miles west of Nashville and I'm standing on top of the hill where the tornado came right up this path. It took out a huge swath of trees, came up this hill, took out this garage that you see over here, as well as the equipment that's in it. There were tractors inside, they're now on the other side of the building. This boat that you see here was here and, amazingly, it is still sitting here. So, there's no rhyme or reason to what this storm took out. Now, the storm we want to show you some video of what the storm did when it went over the other side of the hill. It picked up a trailer and dropped it on top of one home owner's Ford truck. So, not only was he without a home, he was also without transportation. And you can see what the tornado did as it went down the hill, picking up, uprooting tree, uprooting homes, ripping off roofs. And the damage is widespread. We've seen Fredricka.
[Whitfield:] Now Amanda, the storm or a lot of the tornadoes hit in central Tennessee around this time and a couple hours later than this time yesterday, so for the majority of the them in some of those neighborhoods, were a lot of them away from their homes at the time that the tornado touched down?
[Rosseter:] Good question. You know, a lot of the people that we talked to knew they were coming after what happened last Sunday, they were aware. Emergency management and all the services were they were prepared. They knew it was coming. Many of the people were at home. They let out school early. We spoke to one gentleman's who said his 13-year-old daughter had just been released early from school. She was at home by herself and they were hurrying home to get to her so she wouldn't be in the storm by herself. But many of these people were home and lots of eyewitness from this very neighborhood who saw the storm come up over the hill.
[Whitfield:] All right, Amanda Rosseter, thank you so much, from Charlotte, Tennessee. A tornado cut a path at least 150 yards wide through Gallatin, Tennessee, as well, a suburb northeast of Nashville. One witness says the wind was blowing debris hundreds of feet into the air. CNN's Jonathan Freed has been looking over the destruction there.
[Jonathan Freed, Cnn Correspondent:] We are about 25 miles north of Nashville and all around us are scenes of recovery. Just behind me over here is what's left of several car dealerships that were just pummeled by that storm yesterday afternoon. We are seeing all kinds of activity with heavy equipment, moving cars around, trying to clean up the site as best they can. And over this way, down a couple of block is the edge of a subdivision that was hard hit. Some of the homes just pulverized, leveled, right to the ground yesterday. We can see power crews are here, trying to restore electricity to these neighborhoods. People that saw this storm drop out of the sky yesterday afternoon say it was just a frightening experience. They say there were no tornado sirens that they heard here, at least not in and around the car dealership, when they saw the twister heading toward them, first destroying a home that was on the other side of the road from the car dealerships, they said that's enough and they ran inside to seek shelter. And one man bent down and held on to a heavy tool box in the service area of the car dealership. And he said he felt his hat blow off, wasn't aware of anything else. The storm cleared. And then he looked up and realized the roof of the building he was in had been completely ripped away and he was seeing sky. Jonathan Freed, CNN, Gallatin, Tennessee.
[Whitfield:] Now here's a look at the devastation in neighboring states. Alabama is reporting several injuries and widespread damage to homes and businesses in the Birmingham area. And several tornado sightings were reported around Huntsville. Same situation in Georgia; tornadoes reported, many homes damaged, power lines down, cleanup now getting underway. The storms left at least 44,000 Georgia power customers without power, most of them in the Atlanta area. You're looking at The Damage around the city right now, one of the suburbs of Atlanta. All eyes are on the skies today at the Augusta National, as well, where the weather could be a key player on this third day of the Masters Tournament. CNN's Larry Smith is covering the action in Augusta and hopefully right now, no rain? You're not carrying an umbrella.
[Larry Smith, Cnn News Correspondent:] I've got an umbrella, but it's being held by our producer, John Macavee, standing just off camera here to try to keep me dry during this live shot. Play began about 90 minutes ago and it has been a steady downpour ever since. The gates were supposed to open at 8:00 a.m. this morning, however that was delayed by an hour because of some very heavy thunderstorms in the area at that time. In fact we went through about a 10-minute, very serious heavy downpour. That cleared up, the sun was out around 10:15 this morning and then the rains came. It's been raining, very cloudy. We are expecting some severe thunderstorms sometime this afternoon, possibly between 1:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon. So, they're watching that closely. They would need to clear the course at that point, you know, tens of thousands of spectator, as well as the players, as well. You know, but it's one of those things, Fredricka, when you think about it the inclement weather has really become a staple just like pimento sandwiches and green jackets, here. It's not since 1999 we've had a masters that has not been affected by the weather. And by the way, we should mention Chad Campbell is the leader, he has a six under par, he will tee off at 2:50 Eastern Time if there are no weather delays. That's a big if at this point.
[Whitfield:] All right, we'll keep checking with you and hopefully the rain will finally let up. Larry Smith, thanks so much. Keeping dry so far.
[Smith:] All right. All right.
[Whitfield:] Meantime, an escaped convict within arm's reach of the law. But guess what? He wasn't arrested. What's going on? That story straight ahead. And the Rolling Stones are rocking Shanghai. Our very own Richard Quest is front and center at the show. CNN LIVE SATURDAY will be right back.
