Last week, a devastating tornado with winds of 170 mph ripped through Kentucky, leaving a trail of destruction visible from satellites. The tornado, nearly a mile wide, lasted around 83 minutes, primarily affecting the town of London. Governor Andy Beshear has pledged support for recovery efforts amid an estimated $9 to $11 billion in damages. As families mourn and search through debris, frustrations grow due to the federal government's slow response in the aftermath of this catastrophic event.
The tornado's path began in Russell County and moved eastward, intensifying as it passed through Pulaski County and into Laurel County.
At least 19 people were killed, with the town of London in Laurel County suffering the worst of the storm's wrath.
