USA: Hurricane Katrina Wreaks Havoc, Declares State Of Emergency In Kentucky
US President Joe Biden has declared a state of emergency in Kentucky in the wake of the devastating tornado. According to a report by the British news agency Reuters, he said that this catastrophe was probably one of the biggest storms in American history. Speaking to reporters, Biden said he would instruct the Environmental Protection Agency to assess the role of climate change in triggering the storm, but also questioned the tornado warning system. It is believed that a series of hurricanes have wreaked havoc in six US states, which has so far killed more than 100 people. Some of the worst destruction from the Kentucky tornado was centered in Mayfield, a town of nearly 10,000 people. At least 110 people were huddled inside a candle factory in the area when a tornado ripped through. https://t.co/1VRJZXLBWw pic.twitter.com/Mh3i3oEzZa — The New York Times (@nytimes) December 11, 2021 Hurricanes in Township, Kentucky, knocked down buildings, overturned cars, uprooted trees and wreaked ...
