The death toll across Kentucky remained at 74 Tuesday, after tornadoes swept across the state, according to Gov. Andy Beshear.

"If there's good news it's that our death count has not gone up since yesterday and that is good news. We're currently at 74 Kentuckians that we've lost. Again, each one a child of god irreplaceable in their community."

Beshear said search efforts continued at a destroyed candle factory where eight people died. Cadaver dogs indicated no additional findings, Beshear said.

Workers, volunteers and members of the National Guard fanned out in areas of Kentucky slammed by a series of tornadoes to begin the long process of recovery, including replacing thousands of damaged utility poles, delivering bottles of drinking water and continuing to search for the dead.

The tornado outbreak Friday that killed at least 88 people in five states - 74 of them in Kentucky - cut a path of devastation that stretched from Arkansas, where a nursing home was destroyed, to Illinois, where an Amazon distribution center was heavily damaged.
