One week after a deadly EF-4 tornado hit Russell, Pulaski, and Laurel counties, the National Weather Service has updated the storm’s path.

The Jackson, Kentucky, weather service office recently cut overnight staff but meteorologists were called in to handle the deadly tornado outbreak.

Another multiday, deadly severe weather outbreak spawned over 150 tornadoes in 22 states, along with damaging thunderstorm winds and hail from the Plains to the Midwest, South and East, including the most active day for severe weather so far in 2025.

A National Weather Service official said it was the deadliest tornado to ever come through the Jackson office's warning area.

The Jackson, Kentucky, office is one of at least four such facilities across the country that is so short-staffed that it is no longer routinely operating 24/7.

The National Weather Service has finished its survey of the deadly tornado that ripped through southeastern Kentucky last week.

Gov. Andy Beshear praised the Trump administration’s response to a deadly tornado in his state, even as he worried about cuts at NWS.

Did alerts go out? What type of alerts did people receive? National Weather Service and others have said the Jackson office was staffed Friday night despite staffing shortages.

Elliott, 63, often called "Kenny," died following the recent London tornado, according to a GoFundMe. His niece, Rachel Harris, started the campaign to pay for his funeral expenses, with funds going to her father and Elliott's brother, Darrell Elliott.
