BREAKING: Tornadoes Rip Through Multiple States Overnight...Factory Roof Collapes In KY...At Least 50 Feared Dead...Workers Trapped Inside IL Amazon Facility

 

Last night, tornadoes and severe storms ripped through multiple states, including Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, and Missouri, leaving death and destruction in their path.

Please pray for the victims…

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear held a press conference early this morning. “It’s devastating,” he said, as he declared a state of emergency and activated 181 guardsmen from the National Guard.

“We believe our death toll from this event will exceed 50 Kentuckians and probably end up closer to 70 or 100 lost lives,” he said. “We will make it through this,” he added. “We will rebuild; we are strong, resilient people.”

NBC News– Beshear said four tornadoes, one of which stayed on the ground for more than 200 miles after touching down, had swept through the state. Almost 60,000 Kentuckians had been left without power, he said.

The city of Mayfield had been “devastated,” he said, adding that a roof collapse at a candle factory had “resulted in mass casualties.”
