Tornado devastates south-central Kentucky, leaving 19 dead and communities in ruins.
A powerful tornado tore through south-central Kentucky on Friday night, claiming the lives of at least 19 people, with 17 fatalities reported in Laurel County alone. The EF-3 tornado touched down in Somerset, Pulaski County, before wreaking havoc across the region, including London.
Jacob Jackson, who was at home with his grandmother near Old Whitley Road when the storm struck, said, "I couldn't be more grateful just to be standing here. Everything else, there's a lot of people around us that got hurt bad, so I just thank God, you know. He's really the only reason I'm standing here."
Residents in Kentucky and Missouri began sifting through damage in tornado-stricken neighborhoods and clearing debris on Sunday after severe storms swept through parts of the Midwest and South, killing more than two dozen people.
Kentucky was hardest hit as a devastating tornado damaged hundreds of homes, tossed vehicles, and left many homeless. At least 19 people were killed, according to Gov. Andy Beshear, most of them in southeastern Laurel County. Ten more people were critically injured, with state leaders saying the death toll could still rise in the next few days.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement Saturday evening that she spoke to Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe, Kentucky Gov. Beshear and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker "to offer federal resources and action for the deadly tornadoes and storms impacting Missouri, Kentucky, and Illinois."
Noem noted they "discussed how while emergency management is best led by local authorities, we reinforced that DHS stands ready to take immediate action to offer resources and support."
"Tragic damage and deaths"
In hard-hit Kentucky, Beshear said on Sunday that officials are working to secure emergency housing options as clean-up begins. He said survey teams were expected on the ground in Kentucky on Monday so the state can apply for federal disaster assistance.
