Biden pledges aid on Kentucky trip: ‘I’ve not seen this much damage from a tornado’

US president surveyed damage after more than 30 tornadoes tore through Kentucky and seven other states

Joe Biden walked past debris piled shoulder-high, furniture torn to pieces and homes without roofs or walls during a visit Wednesday to a Kentucky town rendered unrecognizable by tornadoes, which brought death and destruction to the region over the weekend.

Red brick dust swirled through Mayfield's streets when Biden spoke to local officials and viewed the storm damage in one of the dozens of communities ravaged by the storms. More than 30 tornadoes tore through Kentucky and seven other states, killing at least 88 people. Thousands of residents have lost their houses or are without power.
