KY tornado outbreak could be costliest in history

The tornadoes that ravaged Kentucky farmland and several other states could set a record in damage.

Insurance agents have set up claims centers in parking lots trying to speed up payments to farmers and ranchers who lost their livelihoods. Those payments could reach $5 billion dollars.

That would make it one of the costliest tornado outbreaks in history.

The region has seen a lot of people come in to help in the aftermath, but there is still a long way to go.
