A powerful storm system stretching across a dozen states in the Midwest and the South brought on between 80 to 100 tornadoes. The tornadoes ripped up trees and buildings, leveled entire towns and killed a total of 39 people: 21 in Kentucky, 13 in Indiana, three in Ohio and one each in Alabama and Georgia. In total, 17 million people were in the path of the storm system. 

More.

Absolutely devastating.
