Another step toward recovery has been taken for Mayfield, Kentucky. Tornado sirens damaged in the Dec. 10, 2021, tornado are set to be replaced in the coming weeks.
Biden, speaking from Wilmington, Delaware, promised to get federal help to the areas affected as soon as possible after declaring an emergency and ordering assistance to the commonwealth.
Gov. Beshear said that a monstrous tornado may have killed at least 70 people in Kentucky and the death toll may exceed 100 across ten or more counties across the state, particularly in western Kentucky.
