At least one person was killed in Kentucky as a result of Tuesday’s destructive storms, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said. A man was killed in a car accident in Campbell County as brutal storms battered the state early Tuesday. No other deaths or injuries were reported in the state, Beshear said: “But listen, the loss of one life, and I believe this is a young man, is a tragic occurrence and we’ll be praying for him and his family”. He enacted a statewide a state of emergency Tuesday after the Lexington area saw “significant damage” from the storms.

The storms also injured at least 10 people in Jeffersonville, Indiana, just north of Louisville, the town’s mayor told CNN affiliate WLKY. Photos posted by the mayor showed chunks taken out of several homes’ roofs and debris strewn about an area neighborhood.
