US EditionSevere weather leaves at least 27 dead, including 18 in Kentucky
- Severe storms hit Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia on Friday night, killing at least 27 people and cutting power to nearly 200,000 residents.
- The storms followed a record year with nearly 1,800 tornadoes in the U.S., while staffing cuts at the National Weather Service may have weakened forecasting capacity.
- Kentucky suffered heavy damage including 100 to 200 destroyed houses, five counties declared emergencies, and survivors like Jamie Burns sheltered in basements of sturdier homes.
- Officials reported 18 deaths in Kentucky, seven in Missouri—including five in St. Louis—and two in Virginia, with Mayor Cara Spencer calling the St. Louis storm one of the worst in history.
- The event prompted ongoing rescue and cleanup, highlighted risks to vulnerable homes, and raised concerns about preparedness amid threats of more severe weather.
