Kentucky Hurricane Latest News: Map showing Twister’s trajectory death toll rises to 74 including six children

A two-month-old baby girl has become one of the youngest victims of a hurricane after she died from injuries sustained during the storm in Kentucky and five surrounding states.

His parents, Douglas and Jackie, said Oaklin Koon died Monday.

“At least I know who’s watching over me. My dad,” Douglas Coon wrote on Facebook. “God, it’s not true.”

Reports say all the workers who were inside when a hurricane hit the Mayfield candle factory have now been counted.

A factory spokesman told the Louisville Courier Journal that all 110 workers on the shift have now been counted, and 102 have survived. He said it was a “miracle situation” that only eight people were killed.

Mayor of Dawson Springs, Kentucky, says residents have nowhere to stay after their homes were destroyed by the hurricane.

Mayor Chris Smally told CNN Monday night: “We look forward to FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Agency] Comes here and tries to set something up.

“We are a small town and a small area, so it can be difficult to find a place to put temporary housing and stuff.

Workers at a Kentucky candle factory devastated by last week’s hurricane have reportedly been fired if they try to leave their shifts early. At least four workers at the Mayfield consumer product factory in Mayfield told NBC News that their employers refused to allow them to leave the building even though alarm sirens sounded. At least eight people were killed when a factory collapsed on Friday night.

A company spokesman flatly denied that employees had been threatened with dismissal or told not to leave.

A reputable meteorologist has warned that the hurricane this weekend is the result of global warming and not an unpredictable weather event.

Michael Mann, director of Penn State University’s Center for Geosciences Science, issued his warning Democracy now!S War and Peace Report On Monday.

“We call these natural disasters, but this is not a natural disaster,” he said. “This is a catastrophe exacerbated by man-made climate change.”

Mr Dean continued: “Make no mistake, we are seeing an increase in these massive hurricane eruptions that are causing the planet’s warming.

“But what’s going to happen here, we’ll continue to see is that climate change, combined with natural factors like the La Nina phenomenon we are experiencing, is going to create more serious examples of these kinds of events.”

Five of the 74 confirmed deaths in Kentucky have not yet been identified, the state Bessier said at a news conference Monday afternoon.

And 109 people are missing across the state. The governor said it could take weeks to finalize the death toll from the mountain ruins facing search teams.

See below the Governor’s emotional message:

The death toll from Friday’s storms rose to 88 on Monday afternoon as 10 new deaths were confirmed in Kentucky.

The Independent’s Gustaf Glander explains everything we know about victims so far:

In the wake of Friday’s devastating storms, many have blamed climate change.

Scientists say it’s too early to know if this is really the case, but it’s not a reason to rule out the possibility. Of freedom Louis Boyle explains:

Jeff Bezos has been criticized on social media for continuing to cheer on his latest venture into space travel after a deadly hurricane at the Amazon warehouse.

At least six people have been killed after a building collapsed Friday night at an Amazon distribution center in Edwardsville, Illinois.

There was initially no reaction to Mr Bezos’ news online, however, as the millionaire launched his social media posts on Saturday launching the New Shepherd Rocket with six astronauts, including Laura Shepherd Churchill, the daughter of America’s first astronaut Alan Shepherd. Whose name was given to the rocket.

“Happy team at the training center this morning,” Mr Bezos said in an Instagram post Saturday morning. The group includes former NFL star and Good Morning America presenter Michael Strahan and four paying customers.

“You should be more concerned about the hurricane situation,” one user responded to the post.

“Will any of your Amazon workers get on the plane?” Slapped another.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has launched an investigation into the Amazon facility in Illinois, where six workers were killed when a hurricane collapsed its roof on Friday.

A spokesman for the company told CNBC: “OSHA is investigating all workplace deaths and we support them.”

Amazon said employees working at a distribution center in Edwardsville were instructed to take security around 8.16pm on Friday night.

It was believed that a twister had formed in the center parking lot before carving a path through it – trapping dozens of workers inside.

The family of one of the victims, Larry Wirton, alleged that the workers had previously been denied the opportunity to leave. Of freedom Commenting on this, Swetha Sharma said:
