So far a reported 24 tornadoes have ripped across six states causing catastrophic damage across the middle of America. Kentucky was hit the hardest, thus far, causing at least 70 deaths to go with the horrible damages to businesses and homes, reported CBS News.
Governor Andy Beshar gave a statement, saying: Earlier this morning at about 5 a.m. we were pretty sure that we would lose over 50 Kentuckians, now certain that that number is north of 70,… It may in fact end up exceeding 100 before the day is done.”
