U.S. Tornadoes
An unprecedented swarm of deadly nighttime tornadoes tore through eight states from Friday into Saturday leaving a long trail of death and destruction. Search-and-rescue efforts continue; more than 100 are feared dead. Kentucky, Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Mississippi were battered by at least 50 tornadoes. The worst damage and highest death toll (at least 80) occurred across western Kentucky. Gov. Andy Beshear called the storms “the most severe tornado event” in his state’s history. The city of Mayfield, with a population of 10,000 in Graves County, had its downtown flattened.
