At least 50 people were likely to have been killed in a devastating outbreak of tornadoes that ripped through Kentucky and several other U.S. states late Friday and early Saturday, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said.

Multiple tornadoes touched down overnight across the state causing damage in more than a dozen counties. The primary tornado traveled more than 200 miles (320 km) across Kentucky, Beshear said during an early morning news conference.

“This is gonna be some of the worst tornado damage that we have seen in a long time,” he added.

Some 56,000 Kentuckians were without power, he said. He declared a state of emergency and was deploying dozens of national guardsman to communities.

Bill Bunting, operations chief at the Storm Prediction Center, part of the National Weather Service, said at least five states were hit by the tornadoes, namely Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas, the Times reported.
