100+ feared killed in ‘worst tornado outbreak’ in US history

A multi-state series of tornadoes that laid waste to the Midwestern US, possibly killing over 100 people, may be one of the worst in the nation’s history, President Joe Biden has announced, declaring a disaster emergency.

The death toll from the series of storms is likely to surpass 100 in Kentucky alone, Governor Andy Beshear declared during a press conference on Saturday, as search and rescue operations continued across the region.
