Dozens Dead After 'Most Severe Tornado Event In Kentucky's History' | NPR

- Dozens of people in the Midwest are believed to be dead after severe weather that caused multiple tornadoes struck late Friday night and early Saturday morning, tearing through several states including Kentucky, Illinois and Arkansas.
As of Saturday morning, at least 70 people have died in Kentucky alone, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said, and the death toll is expected to rise. President Biden called the destruction "devastating."
In Mayfield, Ky., a candle factory was hit, leading to multiple fatalities, Beshar said at a news conference earlier Saturday morning.
The devastation in the Mayfield area goes beyond the factory, and several surrounding counties are are pitching in with EMS help, as the main emergency services hub in the town itself was in the direct line of the storm, local officials said Saturday. The water tower was hit too, leaving the town without water.
Kentucky Emergency Management Director Michael Dossett said Friday night's tornado event may surpass the 1974 Super Outbreak as the deadliest in the state's history.

My heart goes out to the people of this state. This reminds us all to be grateful. This could easily be us
A few months ago it was us in South Louisiana... and my damages are "boo boo's " compared to this... This was an EF-5 " + "My thoughts and prayers are with everyone there ....
Not really. It only happens to people who willingly choose to live in high risk tornado areas; it literally happens every year. By contrast, no one in NYC or Los Angeles has to worry about this.
@@sheldonspider86 For the most part u r right. We r in Oregon… doesn’t happen here either. But, severe weather is happening all over the place. Thanks to those who do not believe in catastrophic human induced climate change. Which we can thank people in those states for refusing to believe exists.
Wtf… you can see like 2 bodies in those rubbles? Damn how the hell did they miss that.. that’s disrespectful to the family!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes 💔🙏🏽
Our local television station has for almost a week had been sounding a warning about this storm's potential. Noah on NBC 6 has on every broadcast warned that the high temperature, meeting a cold front on Friday night going into Saturday morning had the possibility of seriously dangerous weather conditions. I thank God Noah was out there risking his reputation days before anyone else was. Thank you Noah for having the insight to predict and the courage to warn, far in advance of what the other media outlets were, I believe you saved lives.
His name was Noah? Seems a bit close to ironic as one could get.
Either Noah or his mommy posted this
Thought they meant NOAA. I see now that it's a local weather reporter. I'm not from Kentucky, so thank you for the info everyone.
@@dianaprince3176 and what are you? Noah’s school bully.
@@saam3712 no the person he sucked
I'm in Kentucky. This particular tornado dissipated before hitting us and 2 others went around us. This is a tragedy beyond what I imagined last night. Prayers for all involved. This is terrifying.
Yes I’m very fortunate the same thing happened to me. Very thankful it didn’t go through a place like Owensboro though. My condolences to anyone who lost anyone they knew during the storms
Leaves me speechless. I'm in Germany.
Im so nervous my friend is on a trip to Kentucky for a running event and of course this had to happen.
My parents were from Owensboro. I lived there for many years myself. There's a reason this is happening and it has nothing to do with Guns, God and Babies. This is tragic and I'm very sorry to see this happening to you or anyone else.
I'm thankful to Jesus Christ that He stopped it before it came to you. I'm going to pray so no more tornados hit Kentucky!!
When I look at those destroyed houses, I realize that each of those is somebody's home, where their hearts were, and still are. I live in another part of Kentucky thankfully unaffected by these storms. I give all my love and hope to my neighbors, and I will do what I can to help them rebuild their lives and community.
this area will never come back I'm afraid.
Absolutely devastating. My heart goes out to all those people. This just shows you how fragile this system and everything really is. Be grateful for what you have. Be thankful. If we’re inside our houses watching this … the total loss of property not to even mention loss of life. Be thankful for everything because it is not promised tomorrow. My heart goes out to everybody down there.
This is hysterical
Amen,well Said!
Be thankful? The precious amazon warehouse is going to get fixed before any person in poverty gets a home again in that town.
This world is all wrong.
@@freedomishavingachoice3020 no it's not. That's awesome. I ordered a bunch of shit and need my stuff before whoever in bumble fuck gets their shitty house made of tincans propped back up
Amen🙏
I'm literally crying. The house where I grew up is gone, as well as the jail, pharmacy, even the courthouse. What hurts the most is knowing that the people you grew up with and work with, as well as the people you see everyday, might be dead or even have lost their homes and/or loved ones. Praying for those devastated by these terrible tornadoes
Sending you and everyone involved in this disaster so much love ♥️♥️♥️ Stay strong my dear, God will see you through these tough times. Sending you a warm hug ♥️
I'm so very sorry for all of us with this horror. My prayers are for all of you.
I hope that people in your area urge increased funding for FEMA so that when people in other areas need assistance it is there as well. Better storm warnings, perhaps improved infrastructure. There is a lot of improvements that can help people. It seems as though a lot of people want help when they need it, but forget there are needs that other people have. Needs. I am reminded of the people of Puerto Rico at the time of the devastating hurricane in 2017. I am not without sympathy for people who experience devastating loss. On the day my second daughter was born our house burned down. We lost everything. There was not fire assistance in our area.
@SmokeKing thats fucked up
prayer for everyone for strength!
How horrible. My love goes out to everyone there.
New world order led by obama and pope francis is coming. Jesus christ is coming back for the rapture. Get ready. Dont believe the coming ufo alien abduction narrative

Horrific. My heart goes out to all those effected & to the families of those who’ve lost their lives. Heartbreaking 💔💔
My condolences go to anyone that lost anyone. That’s such a tragedy. My husband and I are team truck drivers and drove past that through the middle of the state yesterday. Can’t believe we just missed that
Count your blessings!!! I hope you live each day to your fullest. You have dodged a very big bullet.
Praise God you stayed out of the storm. He has plans for you.
I’m glad you are safe
I'm glad you missed this tragic storm & you're safe..
Same. We made a delivery near Beaver Dam. Had no idea this type of weather was about to hit.
I live in Louisville, Kentucky and I was kept up all night, because of the storm. We were lucky because even though the rain and the wind sounded like they were trying to come through the windows, nothing was damaged. My Condolences goes out to all of the victims of this storm who died, and the survivors who lost loved ones. Property can be replaced but not friends and loved ones.
Yes I also live in Louisville, Kentucky my family and I were up all night trying to make sure water didn't get in our basement. Definitely was a little hectic.
@@veryrandomthingz326 Yes it was hectic. After seeing Mayfield Kentucky and all the damage and destruction. I gave some money to help out the people. It was only $20 but it all adds up, especially if Kentuckians give some dollars to help Kentuckians out.
That is very true! Amen.
I heard battlefield 2042 is donating proceeds because of the tornado theme in MP.
I am very sorry for what happened to the people of Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas and Tennessee among other towns, the world is praying for you. Greetings from Venezuela.
This is terrifying to watch. My heart goes out to those who survived this monster storm and to all who lost loved ones. Again, this is terrifying.
Hi Anderson. How are you . I will love to ask a question if you don’t mind?.
Sad man we need to come together quit being so divided
Man made tornado
For real, this wouldn’t have happened if Trump was elected!
We’re all Americans that’s all that matters, this brings me to tears. We need to stand united for all those affected.
Trump withheld disaster relief for states that didn't vote for him. Maybe Biden should do the same since the people of Kentucky approved of that behavior.
@@Sonofspam64 But he won't because that is what real President do. Not being pity. At the end of the day red or blue still Americans.
I can’t imagine how terrifying it must’ve been. Strong winds are scary but a tornado, that’s on another level.
I hope everyone gets through this tragedy. My prayers go out to the victims in Fartsville, Tennessee (don’t know the town name)
Hope that everything will recover soon, best wish to all residents.
im a resident of the county over. worked in mayfield for many years. there's really no hope of recovery. the area effected was very poor. itll be a long time before people move in to try and rebuild. the now former population simply dont have the means.
@@ChicCanyon I'm sure Haiti will help us, just like we helped them. Right?
@@CooManTunes with what monopoly money? 😂
@@ChicCanyon They probably use that for rolling joints, or as wallpaper for their shacks. Dumb politicians, giving away our money to futile third-world nations, when we have tornadoes, like this, ravaging our own neighborhoods.

Prayers for the entire areas affected, also sincere condolences for the families of anyone lost in the Tornado.
I live in muhlenberg and it’s horrible
It reminds me of those atomic bomb tests they had in the 1950s. God have mercy and bless & help everyone who was affected !

@@JessicaGarcia-xf9wr OMG what? Where?
I went over on Monday morning to see it for my self. And driving into town how pretty and peaceful but as soon as you drive over the hill about 4 blocks in just complete destruction. I felt numb inside knowing there are people trapped all around you broke my heart.
I pray the lord lifts your community up and takes home the lost ones
I'm very sorry for the lost people and their loved ones. I live in Russia, and tornadoes are very rare here, but I remember how, as a child, a tornado killed a girl from my school when she and her parents went to rest at sea. All my life I've had nightmares with a tornado, I don't even want to think about what it would be like to see this horror live.
Take care of your loved ones. 🖤🖤🖤
Ну и где ты живёшь что у тебя торнадо в России убило девочку
Tornadoes are rare everywhere, except USA and like Bangladesh I think....BUt did you know with that area of eastern Europe and Russia, they are some of the places most prone to horrible tornado outbreaks that produce f5 tornadoes?!...After the eastern usa and after in and around bangladesh south of himilayas where cold are meets tropical air, I think Russia ranks 3rd in terms of f5 tornadoes....maybe not 3rd in overall tornadoes, lots of places get f0, f1, f2....a lot more than russia, like britain might get more tornadoes on average than russia but I think the odds of a big tornado in UK is nearly impossible, not in Russia... but I think over the past 1000 years russia has had more f5 tornadoes than any country other than america and that area of southeasternish asia. Im serious.....Do not doubt the super cell storms that can develop in the flat areas from europe to the ural mountains! Look, an f5 tornado in russia with other big tornadoes in outbreak more likely then a meteor flying over a city, almost getting too close and killing lots, but still doing that amount of damage...you had the meteor already 7 years ago...I for real when say f5 a lot more likely than that, definately f4...unfortunately too your tornado alley can produce some of the worst, its just rare, but also sad it in more populated areas of country and not in siberia!
@@jeffnasty4925 Yes, I live in western Russia in the Stavropol Territory. Last summer I happened to see a tornado forming near my house, but it lasted for a few seconds and did not even have time to take shape. Before, I have never seen even a hint of a tornado in our area, but apparently climate change is doing its job.
@@jeffnasty4925 In Russia, tornadoes usually happen near the Ural mountains or near the Black Sea, where a tornado killed a girl from my school.
@@Shakkigaming Ohh yea I know they rare...but remember looking at tornado reports going back like 500-1000 years...and in terms of large tornadoes that devestated entire cities in places where they are rare...two rare occurances stood out, Longon was destroyed by a tornado like 1000 years ago, and quite a bit of russian cities including moscow were destroyed by large tornadoes hundreds to a thousands years ago....There seemed to be these rare years every couple hundred years or so where that area would see America-like tornados and supercell systems...even producing f-5s, hold on let me look for information......but yea would guess most occur south near black sea and somewhere near higher mountains from convergence of alpine air with warmer air from waters or more southern regions....hold on ill get back to you...

@Levi Ulysses Tornado watches were issues, but no warnings to my knowledge.
That is very weird... there has been no coverage on this in the news. Im from philly bug I would like to know when stuff like this happens
That’s because this happened in the WESTERN part of the state.
@Levi Ulysses 150 warnings were issued between the 7 states that were affected last night. Now to how much time in advance they had to prepare, not sure.
I live in western GA and I noticed it was unusually warm (70 degrees) this morning when I left out. It's been pretty cold all week ( 35-50). I know that is the recipe for tornadoes... And then I saw the reports. 🤧 I didn't hear anything about it coming either. 😞

I know the devastation, bewilderment and pain. I was in the ones that ripped through Putnam county in March 2020. My neighborhood and surrounding areas were just about flattened with an F4. The storms actually extended from Davidson county to just beyond Putnam. We lost around 28 citizens. Took most of us around 6 months to rebuild after squeezing whatever we could out of our respective insurance providers. Anyway, my deepest sympathies to everyone effected by this awful storm. It went over our heads as well but we were lucky this time. I hope you folks will be getting plenty of help in the days coming. We did in March 2020, and were very fortunate for all the volunteers. God bless you all.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ ۖ فَمَا أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ آلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِي يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ لَّمَّا جَاءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَمَا زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ
We wronged them not, but they wronged themselves. So their gods other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them naught when there came the Command of your Lord, nor did they (false deities) add aught to them except destruction.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَىٰ وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ ۚ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ
Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the (population of) the towns while they are doing wrong (polytheism). Verily, His Seizure is painful, (and) severe. [Hud 11:101-102]
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ الْقُرَىٰ بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ
And your Lord would never destroy the towns wrongfully, while their people were right-doers. [Hud 11:116]
وَيُنذِرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا
And to warn those who say: "Allah has begotten a son (or offspring or children)."
مَّا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِآبَائِهِمْ ۚ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ ۚ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا
No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. Mighty (in disbelief) is the word that comes out of their mouths. They utter nothing but a lie. [Al-Kahf 18:4-5]
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا صَرْصَرًا فِي أَيَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِيقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْيِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَخْزَىٰ ۖ وَهُمْ لَا يُنصَرُونَ
So We sent upon them a furious wind in days of evil omen (for them) that We might give them a taste of disgracing torment in this present worldly life. But surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more disgracing, and they will never be helped. [Fussilat 41:16]
أَمْ أَمِنتُم مَّن فِي السَّمَاءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ
Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allah), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning. [Al-Mulk 67:17]
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْبَأْسَاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
Verily, We sent (Messengers) to many nations before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). And We seized them with extreme poverty and loss in health (with calamities) so that they might humble themselves (believe with humility).
فَلَوْلَا إِذْ جَاءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا وَلَـٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
So when Our Torment reached them, why then did they not humble themselves (believe with humility)? But their hearts became hardened, and Shaytan (Satan) made fair-seeming unto them that which they used to do. [Al-An'aam 6:42-43]
Wow... The devastation is just mind-blowing. I've never seen a tornado go through the heart of a town. That thing knocked down huge brick structures no different than reducing a wooden house to splinters! I can't remember ever seeing anything worse from a tornado aftermath than this! My heart & prayers go out to all affected by this terrible tragedy.
Right Paul? It looks like everything was put thru a garbage disposal. All those people and animals! Unfathomable!
Such a tragedy for those lives lost and all the who lost loved ones. This is just completely devastating too see. Prayers and love go out to all who were and are affected by this.
I really do wonder if these people who say "thoughts and prayers" actually go and think about this afterwards and then proceed to pray and meditate on it or if they just click off the video and totally forget anything happened.
Many of us truly do 🙏
Such a tragedy, especially at a time like this, prayers for everyone affected, all the way from the Pacific Northwest, and may those that perished, R.I.P,!
lolll
yeah, it's a really depressing sight to see.

Thank you.
I think this is the first time I've seen the aftermath of a tornado with close up drone footage. It really puts it into perspective how devastating tornadoes can be.
Definitely one of the worst Tornado destruction I have seen in my lifetime, thoughts and prayers to everyone affected.
Prayers and tears. Stay strong beautiful people, you will get through this!
Yes tears from laughing so hard at these delusional people thinking that prayers actually do something. hahahahaha
@@rudyrodriguez9935 Yet you feel the need to comment because you can’t move on from something you can’t possibly grasp. You’ll know one day. Hopefully before it’s too late.
Yes tears and prayers in the moment that is all we can do, until we give what we can to those who help those in need. I hear you and pray and cry with you. And thank you for praying and crying with me.
@@rudyrodriguez9935 I don't think you need to concern yourself so much about our delusions as to worry about what is wrong with you that you can only find something to laugh about in this situation. Right now, you offer less than zero for sure. Concern for nothing but your own jollies?
Praying is full of jokes. This is why I see people as butt of the joke
Страшно смотреть на все это ….но ещё страшнее представить себя на месте людей , пострадавших от стихии! Мои соболезнования людям, потерявшим близких, имущество, здоровье!
людей жалко, однако они жертвы своей непредусмотрительности. Нормальный дом спокойно бы простоял.
@@chemodanoff5804 глупость - не ожидать сильнейший торнадо в истории штата? Легко вещать из другой страны, в которой, вероятно, вообще не бывает подобных ураганов. Быть готовым к подобному - крайне сложно.

Paranormal investigator?
Did u see the tornado ?
Devastating, heartbreaking, sad.The town looked totally torn apart. I pray that it can rebuild to serve the folks. Lets pray for families who have lost loved ones or injured.
Nah, sending money and supplies is more useful than praying to nobody.
I’m in Eastern Kentucky. Praying for this region and all the people involved. 🙏
Praying to a god who literally can control the weather…..
@@arksredemption937 Be thankful IN all circumstances… not FOR all circumstances. God didn’t plan for this since it’s a fallen world, but he WILL make something good come out of it. He will make beauty of ashes. Praying for you as well my friend. Stay strong!
@@nicolehish yeah making something good out of dead kids would be something god would do
@@arksredemption937 Your obviously not God since your living in it, so how would you have any idea? God is… God? So yeah no one knows how he does it. He also didn’t want this to happen, he didn’t make this happen. If he stopped all the tornadoes and bad things from happening what would heaven be? And who would we be?
Huge condolences to all affected and I hope they rebuild and move forward soon x
Devestating and heartbreaking. Prayers have been lifted for everyone that has been directly affected by this horrific event.
Sorry to see such devastation. Hope everyone is OK, and sympathy to all affected.
Horrific destruction 😢
Please continue prayers for our community🙏🙏the loss they've suffered is enormous. We live only minutes from here and were gratefully spared.
You never know when you're gonna leave this world. Very tragic.
Some people know when they will leave this Earth. Suicides mostly.

Prayers like fake democracy.
It's useless for some.
But others love it.
@@unsignedmusic You have no idea who God is.
@@unsignedmusic Actually they do. If you believe in fairytales and you can deny reality, they can make a person feel better. If you believe in that stuff, knowing other people are praying can make one feel better too. Most people deny reality. It's a way to survive. Giving facts aren't going to change the ones who live that way.
We love you KY. Hang in there, help is coming. We feel your pain.
My God.... this is awful... Prayers for all involved... Stay strong in each other.
So devastating. Words fail to express adequately the emotional side of this tragic situation. Prayers to all those affected by the loss of loved one's and friends and all who have suffered loss, no matter the amount.
This is truly terrible, RIP to the victims affected by this disaster🙏

So that tornado went through four states for many hours? Don’t compare nothing to something..
@Chicago Gaming nice bait
So very sad to see the devastation. And, my heart Is breaking for the lives lost, and people who have been affected by the tornadoes. Praying for everyone involved. 🙏
Help victims find good contractors for repairs. There will be a LOT of fake contractors trying to get that insurance money. Victims are vulnerable and tend to hire whoever promises to repair their house the soonest. Help victims ask for references and picture of past work. Most importantly, explain the need to be patient. Someone who is promising quick repairs is usually a scammer
Good points, all of them, friend!
Oh boy, better listen to this advice.Too late for alot of us, sad
Those Republicans had better not accept any government handouts
Oh my Sweet Jesus, Mercy Mercy Mercy for all affected, prayers going out to All !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some people just have to Try to be juvenile at the expense of a severe tragedy, very sad.
Very sad. Must have been very terrifying for those people. My prayers to those affected and the rescue people helping them. So many affected by this tragedy.
Lets pull together as a nation for the folks in these areas who lost lives and homes. Horrible tragedy. Devastation is just unreal. Have never seen a tornado this violent. Prayers from Arizona.
Surprising that a lot more people weren’t killed considering the devastation!
It's almost unfathomable to imagine that this actually occurred and took so many lives during the holidays and time that's meant for good fortune, family, and memories. Now the loss of life and survivors left with absolutely nothing!
This brought me to tears. So sad, praying for all those lives lost, and for everyone involved, all the loved ones lost, right before the holidays, makes me think that my problems aren’t so big compared to what these poor people are feeling 😢💔
Prayers...if God were so great he wouldn't let this type of shit happen.

Or you could actually do something to help.

@@cris4620 It still puzzles me though, that God also planned all the child abuse in the catholic church. Could it be possible that God is in fact a cruel sicko that enjoys torturing humans?
Having been through the Tuscaloosa tornado in 2011 this is so reminiscent of that. Crazy how this happened in December 😳! Thoughts and prayers to those affected.
I live in Kentucky. We only had strong winds where I live. I feel terrible for the people who live in that location.
This Australian garden-variety knockabout bloke, and I'm sure every Aussie is horrified appalled sad & are thinking of the immeasurable loss hurt & grief in Kentucky, and just want to hug you all. We get cyclones but this is beyond belief!?.
Hope survivors are found to help ease the misery & give rescuers & responders & all decent folk something to be thankful for out of this atrocious disaster.
Thinking of you Kentucky. May God keep those souls lost there in bluegrass country.
