Residents of Kentucky's Mayfield town could be without heat, water and electricity in chilly temperatures for 'a long time' after a swarm of deadly tornadoes hit the US state
Four twisters hit Kentucky in all, including one with an extraordinarily long path of about 322 kilometres , authorities said.
“This is a tough morning ... but it’s ok, we’re still going to be all right,” Mayfield Mayor Kathy Stewart O’Nan said on ”CBS Mornings." "It may be weeks before we have counts on both deaths and levels of destruction," Beshear told reporters. In the hard-hit small town of Mayfield, the tornado destroyed a candle factory but also the police and fire stations. Homes were flattened or missing roofs, giant trees uprooted and street signs mangled.
