US president surveyed damage after more than 30 tornadoes tore through Kentucky and seven other states
Surveying storm damage from the Kentucky sky, Joe Biden on Wednesday saw neighborhoods pockmarked by piles of debris and homes without roofs and windows, evidence of the latest natural disaster in the US this year that has brought him to devastated communities to offer support and condolences.
From a helicopter over the town of Mayfield, the US president observed the toll from last weekend’s deadly tornadoes. More than 30 tornadoes tore through Kentucky and seven other states, killing at least 88 people, including at least 74 in Kentucky. Thousands of residents have lost their homes or are without power.
