Dozens of people in the Midwest are believed to be dead after severe weather that caused multiple tornadoes struck late Friday night and early Saturday morning, tearing through several states including Kentucky, Illinois and Arkansas.
As of Saturday morning, at least 70 people have died in Kentucky alone, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said, and the death toll is expected to rise. President Biden called the destruction “devastating.”
In Mayfield, Ky., a candle factory was hit, leading to multiple fatalities, Beshar said at a news conference earlier Saturday morning.
The devastation in the Mayfield area goes beyond the factory, and several surrounding counties are are pitching in with EMS help, as the main emergency services hub in the town itself was in the direct line of the storm, local officials said Saturday. The water tower was hit too, leaving the town without water.
Kentucky Emergency Management Director Michael Dossett said Friday night’s tornado event may surpass the 1974 Super Outbreak as the deadliest in the state’s history.

NPR has too many white people working for them. Most of them should be fired and replace with people of color. But they won't do that because they are racist, while pretending to be your liberal White friends. They are still White and their racism shows and their Staffing practices.
Any updates? Why is no one talking about this?
God the Greatest.
That's what you get this is God's judgment for what you did to us native Americans
Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. Jeremiah 23:19-20
This is like a 7 star hotel when you compare it to what's coming. Better get saved now while you're free and still can
You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
We would like to see some videos of our neighborhoods so we can see how bad our neighbors were bothered by this tornado thank you
Now Kentucky is having to deal with wild fires. When it rains, it pours. Good luck Kentucky.
Deepest condolences to everyone affected by this horrific tornado it just blows my mind to see the devastation that happened for miles and miles and the amount of people killed May they’re lives never be forgotten and may they all Rest In Peace in the arms of the Lord and Savior
