Dozens of devastating tornadoes tore through six US states, claiming at least 83 lives and leaving widespread destruction, prompting President Biden to label it one of the largest storm outbreaks in American history.
Kentucky was the hardest-hit state, with over 70 fatalities, including many from a collapsed candle factory in Mayfield, a town described as 'ground zero' after being virtually leveled by a single tornado that tracked over 200 miles.
Significant casualties also occurred in other states, including six deaths at an Amazon warehouse in Illinois, and additional fatalities reported in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri, as rescuers continue to search for survivors.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
