A baby girl who was discovered in an Indiana field following Friday's devastating tornadoes is in critical condition at a Kentucky hospital, according to the Associated Press.

When the child was found Friday night, she was first taken to a hospital in Salem, Ind.  Melissa Richardson, a spokeswoman for St. Vincent Salem Hospital, said authorities are trying to determine how the child wound up in the field alone, since her family lives in New Pekin, Ind., about 10 miles south of where the she was discovered.

Richardson says the girl is in critical condition at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky.

Though neither her name nor her family's name have been released, a hospital spokesperson in Louisville told ABCNews.com that the family has been identified, though they did not say whether they were alive.

The girl was discovered about 30 miles west of Marysville, a 1,900-person town described by Clark County Sheriff's Department Maj. Chuck Adams as "completely gone."

The deadly storms, which stretched from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes, have killed at least 30 people in four states - Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Alabama -- and destroyed two small towns in Indiana in the second deadly tornado to have occurred this week.
