Devastating stories of loss and destruction emerged out of Kentucky in the aftermath of the tornadoes that tore through the state Friday night into Saturday, including how a three-year-old boy was killed when a twister leveled his family’s home and a beloved judge was among those confirmed dead. The toddler was among the upwards of 70 people who died in Kentucky alone as the tornadoes touched down for more than 200 miles in the state, leveling whole communities, WLWT5 reported. Neighbor Angela Wheeler told the station that she saw the boy’s family screaming for help from their leveled home in Mayfield after she and her husband escaped their own house through a window. Kentucky District Judge Brian Crick, a married dad of three who served McLean and Muhlenberg counties, was among those killed, Chief Justice Minton confirmed in a statement on Twitter. “This is a shocking loss to his family, his community and the court system, and his family is in our prayers.
