US Tornadoes: Thousands of people have been left homeless by what has been described as Kentucky's worst storm on record, with some 105 people in the state still unaccounted for.
At least 64 people died in Kentucky from devastating tornadoes that left a trail of destruction across the US state, the governor said Monday, with 14 people confirmed killed in other states.
Two days after the tornadoes hit, officials are still struggling to establish the toll as emergency responders pick through the rubble of thousands of damaged or destroyed homes and buildings.
"Undoubtedly there will be more (dead). We believe that it will certainly be above 70, maybe even 80," said Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.
Thousands of people have been left homeless by what Beshear has described as the state's worst storm on record.
