missions, but right now we have so many people displaced as a result of these tornadoes. there's sheltering that's going to need to take place. my experience as an emergency manager has shown many people stay with friends and family. there are going to be some that are going to need short-term sheltering and some long-term assistance as they rebuild. i spoke with the president of the american red cross yesterday and talked about her efforts to support the states with their sheltering, and we're continuing to work with the states on long-term housing needs. >> the governor of kentucky called this the most devastating tornado event in this state's history. how unusual is it to see a storm this powerful this late in the year? >> i think it's incredibly unusual. we do see tornadoes in december. that part is not unusual, but at this magnitude i don't think we've seen one this late in the year but also this time of year.
