EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - A woman critically injured in a tornado that decimated an Evansville mobile home park died Thursday, her father said.
     
Brandy Morefield, 28, was the 23rd person to die as a result of Sunday's tornado, and the 19th from the Eastbrook Mobile Home Park.
     
Her father, Douglas Morefield, said she died Thursday at St. Mary's Medical Center, where she had been hospitalized since she was pinned under rubble by the tornado that hit the Evansville area about 2 a.m. Sunday.
     
The storm destroyed or damaged more than 200 homes in the 350-unit Vanderburgh County neighborhood. Four other people were killed in neighboring Warrick County, where about 200 other homes were destroyed.
