Elliott, 63, often called "Kenny," died following the recent London tornado, according to a GoFundMe. His niece, Rachel Harris, started the campaign to pay for his funeral expenses, with funds going to her father and Elliott's brother, Darrell Elliott.

Tornadoes that swept through Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia killed more than two dozen people, destroyed homes and left thousands without power as residents began clearing widespread storm damage.

Kentucky residents impacted by deadly tornadoes will likely have to turn to a weakened Federal Emergency Management Agency to aid recovery.

More severe weather is forecast to move into the commonwealth May 20, including in some of the areas hit hardest by recent tornadoes.

Additionally, there was no evidence that tornado sirens in the area had been deactivated by the Trump administration's budget cuts — if there was, the people affected by the storm certainly would have noted that fact in interviews.

A couple from Laurel County in Kentucky is recovering in a local hospital after a possible EF-3 tornado tore through their home and ripped their arms off as they held each other through the storm.

Darlene’s son, Rodney, says when he learned of the tornado threat, he tried to get his mother to come to Cincinnati to stay with him, but she wanted to stay home. He later learned she had died. He says his mother was an incredibly giving person and devoted herself to helping him care for his children.

Early assessments indicate the deadly storms that hit Kentucky late May 16 likely destroyed or heavily damaged more than 1,500 homes, according to the state’s request for a federal disaster declaration.

In Louisville, storms are expected to arrive sometime between 5-8 p.m. Maps issued by NWS Louisville at 12:03 p.m. showed southwestern Kentucky, including Bowling Green, under a greater than 10% risk for tornadoes of at least EF-2 strength within 25 miles.
