Before and after satellite images show the destruction caused by tornadoes that ripped through Arkansas, Illinois, and Kentucky

• A series of tornadoes caused by severe storms ripped through several US states on Friday.
• In Kentucky, at least 80 people have died, Gov. Andy Beshear said on Sunday.

A series of tornadoes caused by severe storms in Arkansas, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri on Friday caused widespread destruction and left dozens dead.

In Kentucky, which was hit particularly hard, Gov. Andy Beshear said on Sunday that the state's death toll reached 80 and will probably exceed 100.

"Death and this tornado didn't discriminate against anybody in its path, even if they were trying to be safe," Beshear said.

Kentucky's Mayfield Consumer Products factory was ripped apart, leaving dozens of workers trapped. Around 40 people have since been rescued from the rubble. Beshear said it would be a "miracle" if more people are pulled from the rubble at the factory.

At an Arkansas nursing home, one person died and several others were injured after a tornado struck the facility and caused the roof to collapse.

Six people were killed at an Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois, after a tornado tore through the facility.
