2025 Somerset–London tornado

During the late-night hours of May 16, 2025, a devastating tornado hit Eastern Kentucky. Also known as the London tornado, or the Somerset-London tornado, it caused severe-to-catastrophic damage in cities of Somerset and London. It killed 19 people, 17 of which were in London, and injured many more. This was the deadliest tornado since the 2021 Western Kentucky tornado. It was also the worst tornado to ever strike the area, which rarely sees strong tornadoes, and especially violent and deadly ones. Many homes and businesses were destroyed, and emergency workers helped people throughout the night.
