'I played the song for me...but I guess it's brought some peace and comfort to a lot of folks.' A man in Kentucky who played his piano 'just to get a quiet moment,' brought hope to his community amid the destruction caused by deadly tornadoes.
There were at least 44 tornadoes reported across nine states between Friday night and early Saturday morning --
At least 18 counties in Kentucky reported lives lost, and 18 counties reported damages. As of Monday morning, some 30,000 homes in the southeastern state were still without power, according to Beshear. He then posed the question:"How do you tell people that there's going to be one of the most powerful tornadoes in history and it's going to come directly through your building?"
MORE: Tornado victims include district judge, workers at candle factory and Amazon distribution center "We feared much, much worse and, again, I pray that it's accurate," Beshear told reporters Monday morning, noting that"15-plus feet of wreckage," along with a lack of cellular service, made it difficult to determine how many individuals made it out of the destroyed facility alive.
"The offers from all over the United States are overwhelming," O'Nan told ABC News' Robin Roberts during an interview Monday."We are so blessed with the state and federal support." "When I'm ever asked what's the greatest asset of our community, it is always our people," she added."We've had small tragedies before and every time immediately the people bond together. I've seen that so much now, but we're joined by so many people from all across the commonwealth, all across the United States."The bedroom of Rick Foley, 70, is seen without a wall after a devastating outbreak of tornadoes ripped through several U.S.
"This was the dream house for my wife," he said, tearfully."She loved it. She'll never see it again."Meanwhile, six people were killed in Illinois, where a tornado hit an Amazon facility. Four others were killed in Tennessee. There were two deaths reported in Arkansas and another two in Missouri, according to local officials.
Nantel told reporters that seven of the employees, including the six who died, were working at the south end of the building that did not have a shelter-in-place room and huddled there as the tornado closed in. She said it was only a"matter of minutes" between the warning and the tornado strike. "It's a town that has been wiped out, but it's not the only town, it's not the only town. That [tornado] path you see moves all the way up to well over 100 miles, and there's more than one route it goes," Biden told reporters Monday."We're also seeing destruction met with a lot of compassion, I'm told.
