Severe weather over the Mother's Day weekend spurned a number of killer tornadoes that could qualify for the Insurance Services Office catastrophe designation, the firm said today.

Gary Kerney, assistant vice president for Property Claim Service, a subsidiary of Jersey City, N.J.-based ISO, said today in an e-mail that the company is currently examining the weekend storms in all the affected states.

"We will likely be assigning a serial number to the recent tornadoes but are currently gathering information from other states such as Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas and Georgia in order to clearly assess all of the severe weather situations."
