MAYFIELD, Ky: A monstrous tornado, carving a track that could rival the longest on record, ripped across the middle of the US in a stormfront that killed dozens and tore apart a candle factory, crushed a nursing home, derailed a train and smashed an Amazon warehouse. "I pray that there will be another rescue. I pray that there will be another one or two," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said, as crews sifted through the wreckage of the candle factory in Mayfield, where 110 people were working overnight Friday when the storm hit. Forty of them were rescued. "We had to, at times, crawl over casualties to get to live victims," said Jeremy Creason, the city''s fire chief and EMS director. In Kentucky alone, 22 were confirmed dead by Saturday afternoon, including 11 in and around Bowling Green. But Beshear said upwards of 70 may have been killed when a twister touched down for more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) in his state and that the number of deaths could eventually exceed 100 across 10 or more counties.

05:43pm, Saturday, 11'th Dec 2021 Independent on Saturday
Benton - A devastating swarm of tornadoes ripped through six U.S. states, killing more than 70 people in Kentucky and leaving a trail of destroyed homes and businesses along a path that stretched more than 200 miles, officials said on Saturday. Dozens were feared dead at a candle factory in western Kentucky where about 110 people were working when a powerful tornado ripped through the facility late on Friday, causing the roof to cave in. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said 40 of the 110 workers had been rescued from the factory so far. "The level of devastation is unlike anything that I have ever seen," Beshear said of the damage caused by the collection of twisters, with the primary tornado travelling more than 227 miles (365 km) across his state. "Earlier this morning at about 5 a.m., we were pretty sure that we would lose over 50 Kentuckians. Im now certain that number is north of 70. It may, in fact, end up exceeding 100 before the day is done." Beshear said 189 National Guard personnel have been deployed to assist with the recovery, with a focus on Mayfield, a small city of about 10,000 people in the southwestern corner of the state where it converges with Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas.
