WASHINGTON: Tornado flock which destroyed six US states, killed more than 70 people in Kentucky and left the crushed house and business trail along the road that stretched more than 200 miles, officials said on Saturday.
At least four tornadoes touched overnight in some parts of the Kentucky, causing significant damage in more than a dozen districts.
The main tornado travels more than 147 miles (365 km) throughout the state, said Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.
The death toll could exceed 100, the governor said at the morning press conference.
“The level of destruction is not like anything I’ve seen,” Besheet said.
“We are pretty sure that we will lose more than 50 Kentuckians, I am now sure that the number is North 70.
Maybe it actually ended more than 100 before that day was done.” He said 189 National Guard Personnel had been deployed to help with emergency response.
Some of the worst destruction is in Mayfield, a small town of around 10,000 people in the far part of Kentucky, where the country meets Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas.
About 110 people were inside the wax factory in the area when Tornado tore, lowered the roof and caused mass casualties, said Beshar.
Kyanna Parsons-Perez, who was inside the factory, said the roof collapsed as soon as the workers could hear and felt a hollow wind and the lights began to blink.
“We can feel the wind …
then we do a little stone,” Parsons-Perez told NBC.
“And then boom everything down on us.” Videos and photos posted on social media showing brick buildings in downtown Mayfield reduced to debris, with parked cars almost buried under bricks and debris.
The tower at the Graves County courthouse in Mayfield seems to have been dropped, the photo on Twitter shows.
In the early hours, more than 56,000 people were in Kentucky without strength, said Besheet.
He declared an emergency and mobilized dozens of national guards.
The incidence of tornado outbreaks is a series of storms overnight, including super cell storms formed in the Arkansas northeast.
The storm moved from Arkansas and Missouri and to Tennessee and Kentucky.
“Unfortunately it produces several deadly tornadoes along the way.
One of them might be a long track tornado,” said Meteorologist predicted Roger Edward storm.
“Tornado killer is part of it.” “Like a train that roared through the city ‘one person was killed and five was seriously injured when Tornado ripped a house with 90 beds in Monette, Arkansas, a small community near the border with Missoighead Judge Marvin Day.” It just takes a shot directly from the tornado, ” said the day to Reuters.
“We are very blessed that more people are not killed or injured in that.
It could be much worse.
“A few miles away at Leachville, Arkansas, a tornado destroyed a general store, killing one person, and putting waste to many downtown, according to Lieutenant Chuck Brown from the Sheriff County Mississippi office in Arkansas.” That’s right – It sounds like a train roaring through the city.
“In Illinois, the police said there was a” confirmed fatality “after the roof partly collapsed at the Amazon.com Inc warehouse in the city of Edwardsville on Friday.
Rescue workers were looking for people who were trapped in debris.
The record of the drone from the warehouse showed a chaotic scene in the morning dark, with many emergency vehicles around the area and rescuers with a flashlight combing debris.
The roof appeared to be peeled back from the building metal frame.
In Tennessee, the weather was severely killed at least three people, said Dean Flaner, spokesman for the State Emergency Management Agency.
Flaner said two died in Lake County and one at Obion C Ounty, but it doesn’t have information about the state of death.
Shortly after midnight, the weather caused the CSX-goods train to frustrate in West Kentucky, even though there were no injured crew, said a corporate spokesman.
The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center said it received 36 Tornado reports that touched in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas, and Mississippi.
