ENTERPRISE, Ala. President Bush handed out hugs Saturday to people in the South who survived killer tornadoes and he mourned the score, including eight high school students, who died in the storms.
"Out of this rubble will emerge a better tomorrow," Bush said.
He climbed over piles of concrete, roofing, insulation, broken glass and textbooks at shattered Enterprise High School. Be strong and set an example for the other 1,200 students, he told the student government president and three others.
Down hallway three, lined by blue lockers, the president went in private, the corridor where the eight students succumbed and scores more were trapped in Thursday's storm. The president also saw the school wing, now just rubble, where students had hunkered down — and survived — as the tornado approached.
