A tornado tore across western Kentucky and southwestern Indiana early Sunday, killing at least 20 people as it cut through a mobile home park and obliterated trailers and houses while residents slept.

The tornado, estimated to have winds of at least 158 mph, hit a horse track near Henderson, Ky., then jumped the Ohio River into Indiana around 2 a.m.

At least 16 people were killed in the mobile home park, according to Eric Williams of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Department. Four other people were confirmed dead in neighboring Warrick County, east of Evansville, where the Ohio River city of Newburgh was hit. No deaths were immediately reported in Kentucky.
