Today is Monday, December 13th, what you need to know about an unprecedented tornado outbreak

across six states. And new data about the new Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the US,

now the dozens of Americans have gotten it. Plus, what some are calling the worst internet hack

in history, who won college football's most prestigious honor, and how you can see one of the

best meteor showers of the year. Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy, all the days news in around

10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Air Commandy, thanks so much for being here.

You ready? Let's do this.

Unfortunately, we start today with what scientists say could be once in a century levels of destruction.

Tornados ripped through at least six states over the weekend, leveling entire towns in their past.

And people have just barely started to pick up the pieces. The tornado outbreak happened late

Friday night into Saturday morning when a lot of people were asleep, and many others could not

see the storms coming in the night sky. Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri,

and Tennessee were all hit. But the worst of it was in Kentucky. There, the governor says he believes

more than 100 people died, making this the deadliest ever tornado event in Kentucky. All weekend,

rescue crews have been trying to search for more survivors in the wreckage who might be trapped.

Hospitals also say they're filling up with people who were badly hurt in the storms. In some places,

devastation goes on for a dozen blocks. The National Weather Service thinks debris might have been

thrown as high as 30,000 feet into the air. That's the altitude of many passenger airplanes.

Overall, the National Weather Service says at least 50 tornadoes were reported.

And reports say just one of those tornadoes left a path of devastation up to 250 miles long

from Arkansas to Kentucky. And if those reports are confirmed,

scientists say it would break a record for the longest tornado track ever set.
