Storms and Tornadoes Continue to Ravage Central U.S.

Dozens have been killed by the storms

Forecasters warned Monday that more tornados and storms were possible in the central U.S. as people from Texas to Kentucky cleaned up from severe weather that has killed more than two dozen people in four days.

In St. Louis, where officials estimated a tornado Friday damaged 5,000 buildings and may cost about $1 billion, the mayor warned Monday that federal assistance could take weeks.

Kentucky has been hardest hit by the storms. A devastating tornado late Friday into early Saturday damaged hundreds of homes, tossed vehicles, left many homeless, and killed at least 19 people, most of them in southeastern Laurel County.
