Rescuers search for survivors after more than two dozen twisters raked across large swaths of the US heartland, leaving more than 90 people dead, dozens missing and communities in ruin
Meanwhile, at least six died in an Amazon warehouse in Illinois where they were on the night shift processing orders ahead of Christmas.
Of the 110 employees working on Friday night in the candle factory, "about 40 of them have been rescued and I'm not sure we're going to see another rescue," Beshear said. Biden's Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, in a break from tense bilateral relations, said his country "shares in the grief" of those who lost loved ones and expressed hope that victims quickly overcome the tornadoes' consequences.
The head of the US Federal Emergency Management Agency, Deanne Criswell, was to arrive in Kentucky Sunday.
