At least 74 people were killed in Kentucky when a line of tornados tore through the state late on Friday evening into Saturday morning, Gov Andy Beshear said in a press conference on Tuesday. Gov Beshear said at least four fully formed tornadoes were identified, one of which stayed on the ground for at least 200 miles.
