Kentucky faces ‘most devastating tornado’ in history

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear on Saturday said that the state faced the most devasting tornado in its history as the death toll might be upwards of 70. As many as five states were affected by the nocturnal storms.
A twister touched down for more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) in Kentucky but the number of deaths could exceed 100 across 10 or more counties. I hit a candle factory an Amazon facility in Illinois and a nursing home in Arkansas.
Debris from destroyed buildings and shredded trees covered the ground in Mayfield, a city of about 10,000 in western Kentucky. Twisted metal sheeting, downed power lines and wrecked vehicles lined the streets of what was barely recognizable as a town.
