Officials at the National Weather Service office in Jackson, Kentucky, said Tuesday that the tornado that tore through London was rated EF-4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. The survey found that the twister had winds of 170 mph as it tore a 55.6-mile-long path across Pulaski and Laurel counties. At one point, the path was nearly a mile wide.

"This is the deadliest tornado in the history of our CWA (County Warning Area)," officials said.
