MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) — Residents of a Kentucky town devastated
by a tornado could be without heat, water and electricity in chilly temperatures for a "long time," the mayor warned Monday, as
officials struggled to restore services after a swarm of twisters
leveled neighborhoods and killed dozens of people in five states.

Originally signed into law in 1952, National Day of Prayer is a day
when people of all faiths are asked to pray for our nation. Title 36, Section 119 of US law states: “The President shall issue each year
a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National
Day of Prayer.

The National Day of Prayer is an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designated by the United States Congress, when people
are asked "to turn to God in prayer and meditation". The president is
required by law to sign a proclamation each year, encouraging all
Americans to pray on this day.
The modern law formalizing its annual observance was enacted in 1952,
although earlier days of fasting and prayer had been established by the
Second Continental Congress from 1775 until 1783, and by President
John Adams in 1798.
