Survivors of a string of powerful tornadoes in Kentucky remain without power, gas or even a roof over their heads as the death mounts
Powerful tornadoes that have swept through the US state of Kentucky, leave many residents without power, gas or even a roof over their heads.
"I can tell you from reports that I've received, I know we've lost more than 80 Kentuckians," Governor Andy Beshear told CNN. "That number is going to exceed more than 100." Pieces of metal and plastic from damaged buildings in the area are stuck on trees after tornadoes hit Bowling Green, Kentucky, U.S. December 11, 2021.
Janet Kimp, 66, and her son Michael Kimp, 25, survived by hunkering down in their hallway - the only part of the house where the roof or the walls did not come crashing down, she said on Saturday.
