28 dead, half a million without power as deadly storms, tornadoes sweep across Central, Eastern US
At least 28 people have died and dozens more were injured after a devastating wave of severe weather swept across the central United States late Friday into Saturday, leaving a trail of catastrophic destruction.
Hard-hit southeastern Kentucky is reporting 21 deaths, according to local news WKYT which said the Laurel County Sheriff's office also confirmed dozens of severe injuries after a suspected tornado shredded homes and buildings late Friday night.
Images emerging at first light on Saturday from the town of London, about 75 miles south of Lexington, show entire neighborhoods razed, with homes reduced to piles of shredded wood and debris, downed power lines, cars tossed all over the place and furniture strewn everywhere.
"She got scared so we went to the hallway and we were in there maybe two minutes because it's the only closed in area we have and my husband and son come running in and pretty much jumped on top of her because you could feel the air and everything sucking and it sounded like a train," Laurel County resident Leslie Bott told reporters as she sat in one of her family's destroyed cars with her daughter. "We saw stuff falling and next thing you knew he said most of the house was gone."
