...
At least 70 people were killed in western Kentucky, and the death toll could exceed 100, according to Gov. Andy Beshear. "This has been the most devastating tornado event in our state's history," Beshear said during a Saturday morning press briefing. "For those that have seen it, what it's done here in Graves County and elsewhere, it is indescribable. Dozens were killed at a candle factory in Mayfield, where 110 people were working when the storm hit Friday night", Beshear said at a 4 a.m. press conference. Around 40 people were evacuated, although the facility had major structural damage from the storm and housed dangerous equipment, he said late Saturday morning.
