One person was killed and at least seven other people were injured when a tornado hit several houses in central Kentucky early Friday morning, officials announced.
Kevin Devine, the director of emergency management in the county of Washington, said that the tornado had struck two or three houses and had caused serious damage to several other houses in a rural part of the county, which has around 12,250 residents. Photos published By the Sheriff’s Bureau of the County of Washington, the debris showed land across the ground and a overturned car.
There is no tornado mermaid in the region, said Mr. Devine, and the first call for help came around 7.10 am
When the research and rescue teams, firefighters, sheriff deputies and emergency medical workers responded, they found trees blocking the small road in the region, he said.
After cutting off their way for the ambulances to go, the crews found that a person had been killed and that at least seven people had been injured, including two who went to the hospital, said Devine.
