Five people are dead in Kentucky after severe weather brought thunderstorms and wind gusts which reached up to 75 miles per hour in the state, according to Gov. Andy Beshear.

The biggest damage is to trees and power lines in the state with more than 396,000 customers without power in Kentucky, Beshear said.

"Very significant widespread damage and is going to take days to get power back up in some places," he said at a press conference Saturday.

The governor said that the winds were so strong he could "feel the walls moving" in Franklin County.

The severe weather threat from thunderstorms and tornadoes is over, with no severe storms expected this weekend. But, wind and snow alerts will continue.
