Severe storms in the central US / 21 people died from bad weather, extensive

A severe storm system swept across the central US, killing at least 21 people in Kentucky and Missouri. Severe weather that swept across the Midwest and South has left at least 21 dead, with officials warning the death toll could rise.

According to US media, in Kentucky, at least 14 people were confirmed dead, with local authorities saying nine people were killed after what appeared to be a powerful tornado touched down in the southeastern part of the state.

Structures collapsed and a car overturned on a highway as the storm swept through the largely rural area. Authorities said there were also multiple reports of serious injuries.

While the US National Weather Service has not yet confirmed that it was a tornado that hit Kentucky, meteorologist Philomon Geertson said it was possible.

Just two months ago, severe weather caused at least 24 deaths and extensive damage in Kentucky. Hundreds of people had to be rescued during that storm. /CNA
