U.S rescue teams are battling to locate dozens of people after tornadoes devastated towns across Kentucky, with at least 64 confirmed deaths.
At least 105 people remain unaccounted for, leaving many families still awaiting news of loved ones.
Governor Andy Beshear said there would undoubtedly be further deaths confirmed in the coming days. No-one has been found alive since Saturday morning, December 11, 2021, but search efforts are still in progress.
Emergency workers, including 300 members of the National Guard, have been scouring debris for survivors and distributing water and generators to residents.
Mr Beshear said dogs were also being used to help search through rubble, adding that “we’re still finding bodies” in some locations. “Nothing that was standing in the direct line of [one] tornado is still standing,” the governor said.
“The devastation is unlike anything I have seen in my life.”
A State of Emergency has been declared by Authorities.
