Let's get to our breaking news special of Ableton On Air. Deadly tornadoes devastate parts of Kentucky and other states. This is according to CNN. Recently, Kentucky went through a horrible tornado. At least 100 people are feared, deceased, following a weekend tornado outbreak across eight states. The Kentucky governor said at least 64 are known deceased. This is according to the CNN, then, of course, we can pop up the CNN article. Following a tornado outbreak across eight states, the Kentucky governor said at least 64 are known dead in his state, and at least 50 tornado reports from late this past Friday and Saturday in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Tennessee, according to the Storm Prediction Center. You can go on www.cnn.com and click to see how you can help the victims of the storms. So, you know, obviously you can call the American Red Cross and other agencies, including FEMA, to help. Okay, can you repeat that number one more time, please? So, if you want to help out the victims of the Kentucky disaster, you can call 1-800-733-2767. Go ahead, 2767. That number again is 800-733-733-2767, or go to www.RedCross.org. Okay, and FEMA provides 3,000 meals and opens 14 shelters for tornado victims. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, provided an update Monday, outlining its efforts to assist in the wake of the deadly tornadoes over the weekend, including opening 11 shelters in Kentucky and three in Tennessee. FEMA administrative Diane Criswell of Homeland Security and Secretary Alejandro MacOrchis are headed to Kentucky on Monday morning to tour the damaged areas and meet with Governor, uh, yes, dead here. On behalf of everyone, according to CNN, FEMA stated, on behalf of everyone of FEMA, our hearts and prayers and all our families and lives who have been impacted by the devastating storms, according to Criswell, said in a statement, this operation remains life-saving and life-sustaining mission. Our support to Kentucky will align with their resources and requests they are given to responders, anything they need at this time. FEMA has also stood up and given 62 generators and provide 30,000 meals and 45,000 liters of water, cots, blankets, infant toddler kits, and medical equipment and supplies as part of the efforts the agency set. So, um, we are able to stand with, uh, the Kentucky effort with the American right cross. Um, uh, now on CNN dot, or dot com, sorry, there is a video if you need to watch it, um, Kentucky Governor Andy Behar speaks during the press conference. Um, after providing updates on the tornado devastation and Kentucky efforts, um, Governor Behar sent an emotional address to Kentucky and saying, this country is standing with you. Like the folks in Western Kentucky, um, they're not doing well today. Um, he said in a news conference on Monday, um, last week, um, or this week, he reassured people that they're providing more updates. Now, I'm going to put the website Red Cross. Mm hmm. Okay.
