Grief, Resilience After Storms Rip Through States, Killing 39

(CNN) -- Kentucky officials reported two additional deaths Sunday from last week's powerful tornadoes, bringing the death toll across five states to 39.

.

With dozens dead, scores of buildings reduced to rubble and some communities all but obliterated, residents of the Midwest and South started assessing the devastation wrought by the series of vicious twisters.

.

The massive outbreak began Friday and extended into the next day, affecting about 17 million people from Indiana to Georgia.

.

By the time the powerful storm system faded, 39 were killed: 20 in Kentucky, 14 in Indiana, three in Ohio and one each in Alabama and Georgia.

.

"It's like a bomb went off and everything is splintered, bricks are down and trees, and (there's) just a lot of debris," Ohio Gov. John Kasich said after visits to Moscow and Bethel.

.

Many miles and many states away, others described similar scenes.

.

Piles of concrete and wood remained strewn across the landscape of what used to be homes. Tall, once sturdy trees littered the ground. Bright yellow school buses smashed into buildings. Garbage bins and wooden beams, which had flown through the air like a jet airliner, resurfaced hundreds of yards away.

.

The center of West Liberty, Kentucky, transformed into a ghost town after a twister ripped through buildings and flipped police cars along Main Street.

.

"There ain't nothing left of this town. It's just a tragedy," resident David Wilson said.

.

In Henryville, Indiana, about 20 miles north of Louisville, an EF-4 tornado -- with sustained winds of between 166 mph and 200 mph, putting it in the top 2% of tornadoes in terms of its strength -- struck a school complex.

.

National Weather Service meteorologists said it was one of two tornadoes that hit the town Saturday, crediting the early dismissal of students with preventing more fatalities.

.

Elementary school principal Glenn Riggs said the 40 students who had remained and huddled in an office area were OK.
