THE death toll in what’s now being called Kentucky’s “deadliest storm” ever has reached 84 people, including two children, and people are looking for ways they can help in the wake of the disaster.
The massive storm struck Arkansas, Illinois, and Missouri over Friday and Saturday as well, leaving utter devastation in its path.
Tornado damage followed Winter Storm Atticus from the Rockies to the Midwest, with Kentucky’s governor confirming that more than 80 were dead in his state alone. Governor Andy Beshear has said that the state should expect closer to 100 deaths after the tornado ripped through multiple communities.
The Red Cross is accepting donations to help the victims. Anyone interested in helping can log onto redcross.org or call 800-RED CROSS. People can also send a $10 donation by texting “REDCROSS” to the number, 90999.
Meanwhile Atticus, the first winter storm named this season, has spread heavy snow across Salt Lake City, northern Colorado, eastern Wyoming, southern South Dakota, northwest Nebraska and is now headed into the Plains and Upper Midwest.
Additionally, the storm could produce destructive winds in parts of the Great Lakes, according to The Weather Channel.
