Three Amish children were miraculously saved after they were heard crying while trapped in the remains of the Kentucky tornado aftermath, Washington Post reports.
The children lived with their parents in a double-wide trailer, but tragically the deadly tornado swept through their home and nearby surroundings.
The surviving children lost both parents, and two siblings: Marilyn, age seven, and Daniel, age four.
The current death toll from the tornadoes is over 90 deaths counted across five states.
At a press conference Monday morning, Governor Andy Beshear confirmed 64 dead, but revised that number later in the day.
The state has 74 deaths, and 105 people unaccounted for. Beshear estimates the state's total death count could reach 80 people or higher.
Per BBC News, Governor Andy Beshear stated that the number could go up in what he has referred to as the most severe set of tornadoes in Kentucky history.
The death toll from the extreme weather could ultimately exceed 100 people, Beshear said during a press conference on Saturday morning.
"This is going to be some of the worst tornado damage that we've seen in a long time," Beshear said. "This is likely to be the most severe tornado outbreak in our state's history."
The disaster has so far seen at least 30 deadly tornadoes sweep through the Mississippi Valley.
President Joe Biden promised to get federal help to the areas affected as soon as possible after declaring an emergency and ordering assistance for the Kentucky town ravaged by the tornado.
"All that I know is that the intensity of the weather across the board has some impact as a consequence of the warming of the planet and the climate change," he said.
"The specific impact on these specific storms, I can't say at this point. I'm going to be asking the EPA and others to take a look," Biden added.
What's more, Biden promised that he would visit Kentucky but at a point where he and his team wouldn't be "in the way".
Beshear said at a briefing midday on Saturday the death toll was now "north of 70" and that "it may in fact end up exceeding 100 before the day is done."
At least 84 people were reported dead by Saturday evening. In addition to the 70 in Kentucky, six more are dead in Illinois, four in Tennessee, and two each in Arkansas and Missouri.
