Survivors of the tornadoes that ripped through several states are picking through the rubble of their communities, homes and lives.
In these photos, Kentucky residents try to salvage as much of their beloved possessions as they can from the debris and damage.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Monday that 64 deaths were confirmed in his state alone and that "undoubtedly there will be more." He said the victims ranged in age from 5 months to 86 years, and that a fund for victims will pay $5,000 to the families for burial expenses.
More than 30 tornadoes late Friday and early Saturday also killed at least 16 people in Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas. Thousands more were left homeless, many more had no heat or water.
