"Today’s death toll is now at least 28 (12 in Kentucky, 14 in Indiana, and 2 in Ohio). The National Weather Service has issued 269 tornado and 335 severe thunderstorm warnings Surely, without these warnings, the death toll would be much higher. NWS deserves much credit for its timely and accurate warnings today. "
