CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Vice President Al Gore plans to survey the damage today as residents of southwestern Georgia struggle to recover from a string of deadly tornadoes. CNN's Mark Potter is in Camilla, Georgia, one of the areas hardest hit, a city virtually destroyed by a twister that struck Monday before dawn -- Mark.</s>MARK POTTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, good morning, Carol. We are in the area that the tornado hit hardest. It's just south of the city limits of Camilla. As you can see behind me, it was a devastating blow. Now, this morning we're expecting the family members to show back up here as they did yesterday to try to go through the rubble to see if there's anything that they can salvage. As you can imagine, in so many cases here, there's just nothing left. Yesterday, we saw people on their hands and knees picking through the area, even looking things like drivers licenses, birth certificates and other legal papers that they thought they might need in order to get assistance. Now, President Clinton has declared four southwest Georgia counties as federal disaster areas. That will get the aid money flowing. And as you said, the vice president will be here along with the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and some congress people. They'll be touring the area today. The FEMA officials are already on scene, as are state emergency managers. The insurance agents have been here talking to home homers. Their estimate is that the damage total is in the $20 million range. Some Red Cross officials were also here surveying the damage. Police have put a curfew on this area overnight to keep looters out. They say that there were no problems. It was quiet last night. And the victims are telling us that they're just taking it a day at a time wondering what they're going to do. They really have no idea of what they're going to do in terms of long-term plans, what they're going to do to rebuild their lives.
