After an unprecedented swarm of tornadoes caused widespread devastation Friday, residents of hard-hit areas gathered Sunday to worship God, offer encouragement, and help meet needs. More than 50 twisters—including one with a 200-mile path—caused significant tornado damage in eight states.
As of Monday, the death toll in Kentucky alone stands at 74, with at least 14 more casualties in neighboring states. More than 1,000 homes were wiped out in Kentucky, says Gov. Andy Beshear. Rescuers can’t go door to door in many areas, he adds, because “there are no doors.”
