Storms batter US; at least 50 feared dead in Kentucky

Tornadoes ripped through half a dozen states overnight Friday into Saturday, leaving at least 50 people feared dead in a devastated city in Kentucky and around 100 trapped in a partially collapsed Amazon warehouse in Illinois.

A number of counties in Kentucky were left devastated by at least four tornadoes that touched down. One smashed through a swathe of 200 miles of the state, Governor Andy Beshear said. "Mayfield in Graves County will be ground zero," Kentucky emergency management director Michael Dossett told CNN Saturday morning.The governor declared a state of emergency before midnight and said scores of search and rescue officials had been deployed to save lives as power outages continued to hit the area.

"Our Illinois State Police and Illinois Emergency Management Agency are both coordinating closely with local officials and I will continue to monitor the situation," he added. Craighead county official Marvin Day told local news channels that rescuers had successfully pulled out those trapped in the building and the structure was "pretty much destroyed".
