Crews are still looking for people possibly trapped in badly damaged homes and piles of debris.

Shirbai White stood outside her mother's home in Warren County on Monday, looking at what remained. Her mother, 77-year-old Mae White, has been identified as one of the victims killed in the overnight storm.

"She was a really good-hearted person," said Shirbai. "This affected a whole lot of people, her passing affected a whole lot of people. Just like this storm did, her passing did, too. She showed a lot of people love, a lot of people loved her, cared about her. They’re very upset. We all are upset. You hate for her to have to go like this."
