WASHINGTON (HRNW) – At least 50 people are dead after four tornadoes tore through the southeastern US state of Kentucky, its governor told reporters early Saturday, as several storms ravaged swathes of the country.
A number of counties in Kentucky were left devastated with the strongest tornado tearing through 200 miles of the state, Governor Andy Beshear said.
On the same night a storm ripped through a massive Amazon warehouse in the state of Illinois where around 100 workers were left trapped inside, local media reported.
“I fear that there are more than 50 dead … probably closer to somewhere between 70 and 100, it s devastating,” Beshear said, adding that it was the “most severe tornado event in Kentucky s history.”
