This week, the central U.S. is bracing for severe storms after recent tornadoes caused the deaths of more than two dozen people, particularly in Kentucky. The National Weather Service warns of hazardous conditions including thunderstorms, heavy snowfall, and extreme heat. Residents in affected areas are scrambling to salvage belongings, while officials are assessing the extensive damage. With fatalities confirmed and many injured, the community's focus is on recovery and the application for federal disaster assistance as additional storms loom on the horizon.
At least 19 people were killed and 10 seriously injured in Kentucky, where a tornado on Friday damaged hundreds of homes and tossed vehicles in southeastern Laurel County.
Wilson said he raced to his parents' home in London, Kentucky, after the storm. "It was dark and still raining, but every lightning flash, it was lighting up your nightmares: Everything was gone."
