The EF-4 tornado that hit southeastern Kentucky on Saturday May 17, 2025 killed 19 people and injured other people and pets.

The devastation left many homeless, powerless, and desperate for help.

That help has already arrived from the Red Cross to private church relief and private citizens willing to roll up their sleeves and tackle the cleanup and distribution of supplies.
