Up to 100 people likely killed by tornadoes in western Kentucky, Gov. Beshear says

The city of Mayfield, Kentucky was hit particularly hard, including a candle manufacturing factory that was operating at the time the twister hit. There were 110 people in the building at the time that it was nearly collapsed by the tornado. Dozens are expected to be lost from there, Beshear said.

 

"This tornado event may surpass the 1974 super outbreak as one of the most deadly in Kentucky's history," said Kentucky Emergency Management Director Michael Dossett.

 

Dossett went on to say that rescue efforts are underway and being conducted by local response teams while Beshear said the National Guard has been activated, with 181 guardsmen being deployed. Kentucky State Police have been working all night to save lives as well.

 

Beshear has also requested President Joe Biden to declare a federal state of emergency.
