Set of Deadly Tornadoes assault US State of Kentucky
A swarm of tornadoes tore through a 200-mile path across the Midwest and South US, yesterday. The series of tornadoes destroyed houses, leveled buildings, and businesses, leaving only debris and devastation behind. It is feared that a lot of people might be dead.
The weather forecasters claim that such powerful tornadoes are not common in the region, in the cooler months. The tornadoes or the twisters, as are commonly known in the US, destroyed a nursing home in adjacent Missouri as well as ripped through a candle factory and the police and fire stations in a small town of Kentucky.
According to the Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear such a natural devastating phenomenon like the swarm of tornadoes was the most destructive in the history of the Kentucky state. Rescue operations are underway to save the survivors of the natural disaster, though chances are growing slimmer as more time passes.
