Tornado tore through 200 miles of Kentucky. Here’s its path

WLWT

Updated: 12:52 PM EST Dec 11, 2021

One of the most devastating storms in state history tore through Kentucky Friday night into Saturday morning, killing scores of people and leaving behind catastrophic damage. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he fears up to 100 people are dead, and rescue and recovery efforts are ongoing across the state. As many as four tornadoes hit the western portion of the state, the governor said. The system came as part of a quad-state event, originating in Arkansas before ripping through Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky.ABOVE VIDEO: Aerial video shows tornado devastation in Ohio County, Kentucky“This tornado event may surpass the 1974 super outbreak as one of the most deadly in Kentucky history,” said Kentucky Emergency Management Director Michael Dossett.“The track for this event is over 200 miles just in Kentucky. It may eclipse the 1925 record Tri-State track for the longest tornado,” he added. The governor said the most catastrophic tornado may have traveled 227 miles. If confirmed by the National Weather Service, it would eclipse a record held by the infamous Tristate Tornado, which killed 695 people and spanned 219 miles in 1925. This weekend’s tornado moved into Kentucky through the southwest portion of the station, traveling northeast. Fulton, Hickman, Graves, Marshall, Lyon, Caldwell, Hopkins, Muhlenberg, Ohio and Hancock counties suffered heavy damage. The city of Mayfield (Graves County) was hit particularly hard, including a candle factory that was operating at the time. Beshear said the roof collapsed at the candle factory that caused “mass casualties.”We’re told there were more than 100 people in the building and rescues are underway.There have also been reports of a strong tornado in Bowling Green and reports of another in Taylorsville.Beshear noted that Dawson Springs, his father former Governor Steve Beshear’s hometown, was also hit really hard as well.The following counties were all affected to some degree or another: Fulton, Hickman, Graves, Marshall, Lyon, Caldwell, Hopkins, Muhlenberg, Breckinridge, Ohio, Bullitt, Spencer, Shelby, Logan, Christian, Warren, Edmonson, Taylor and Marion.
