As a powerful tornado moved toward Laurel County late Friday, Zach Wilson drove through the storms to get to his parents. Inside their home, David and Edwina Wilson were hoping to get to the bathtub before the tornado hit.

At least 27 people have been killed by storms systems that swept across part of the U.S. Midwest and South, with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announcing Saturday that 18 of the deaths came in his state and 10 others were hospitalized in critical condition.
