Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said in a post on X Thursday evening that a man from McCracken County had died from the May 16-17 severe weather that leveled towns and devastated communities.

The state's death toll from the May 16 storms remains at 19.

Gov. Andy Beshear announced Sunday the death toll has risen to 19 with the addition of a woman from Russell County.

The family said they'd come to assume the cat was gone until someone heard a faint meow from the destroyed house.
