US President Joe Biden will travel to Kentucky today to survey the areas hardest hit by one of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in recent US history, a system that killed at least 74 people in the state and at least 14 elsewhere.

Mr Biden will reprise his familiar role as consoler in chief, while promising to bring the might of the federal government to rebuild devastated communities that suffered billions of dollars in damage.

President Biden will visit the US Army installation at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, for a briefing on the storm before continuing on to Mayfield and Dawson Springs, two towns separated by roughly 112 km that were largely flattened by the twisters. FEMA has also sent dozens of generators into the state, along with 511,000 litres of water, 74,000 meals and thousands of cots, blankets, infant toddler kits and pandemic shelter kits.
