This was reported on May 17 by The New York Times. According to the publication, 27 people were killed by destructive tornadoes that were caused by a strong storm in the mid-Atlantic and swept across the central part of the United States from May 16 to 17. According to preliminary data, 26 tornadoes were registered. Twenty-five people were killed in Missouri and Kentucky, two in Virginia, and dozens were injured. Police say the death toll could rise. At London-Corbin Airport in Laurel County, Kentucky, the storm left hangars twisted and flattened. One plane flipped over, and a medical helicopter was damaged. Airport Manager Matthew Singer said no workers were hurt, but several structures and buildings sustained significant damage. In St. Louis, Missouri, authorities say cell phone towers were damaged, power was out in several neighborhoods, and homes and buildings were severely damaged. City Mayor Kara Spencer said preliminary estimates suggest about 5,000 buildings were damaged. |
