LONDON (AFP)
Severe storms that tore through the US states of Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia left more than 25 people dead, leveling homes and businesses while knocking out power for tens of thousands, authorities say.
At least 18 people were killed in Kentucky in the storms Friday night, state governor Andy Beshear posted on X, while officials in Missouri said another seven were dead there.
Two people were also killed by falling trees in Virginia, local media reported.
Drone footage shared by local media showed scenes of devastation in London, with houses levelled and reduced to splinters and tree trunks standing bare, shorn of branches.
More than 108,000 people were still without power across the three states late Saturday.
