President Joe Biden took a walking tour through Western Kentucky, to see firsthand the devastation caused by last week's tornadoes that tore through Kentucky and seven other states, killing at least 88 people.

Thousands of residents have lost their houses or they were left without power. Biden walked past debris of houses which were left in ruins in Dawson Springs, hugging residents and pledging long-term federal aid to an area rendered unrecognizable. Earlier, Biden took an aerial tour of the damage and held a briefing with officials in an airport hangar. Officials say more than 30 tornadoes are responsible for the massive devastation.
