Severe storms, tornadoes kill at least 25 in south-central US
The Freeman
|May 19, 2025
Severe storms that tore through the US states of Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia left more than 25 people dead, leveling homes and businesses while knocking out power for tens of thousands, authorities say.
-
At least 18 people were killed in Kentucky in the storms Friday night, state governor Andy Beshear posted on X, while officials in Missouri said another seven were dead there.
Two people were also killed by falling trees in Virginia, local media reported.
Jamie Burns, 38, who lives with her husband and son in a trailer home in the town of London, Kentucky, fled to the basement of her sister's brick house while the storm destroyed 100 to 200 houses in the area.
"Things that have been here longer than I have, things that have been here for 30-plus years are just flat," Burns told AFP in a phone interview, her voice quavering.
"It's wild, because you'll look at one area and it's just smashed... totally flattened, like, not there anymore."
