How many deaths will be associated with US tornadoes during the week of May 12-18, 2008?

Settled as No deaths due to tornadoes May 12-18

It's still the time of year for these storms throughout the country, several were reported last week, and I believe at least one person was killed.

Will there be a loss of life from this week's storms?


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
