As of Sunday, search and rescue teams were continuing to dig through rubble.
In the city of Mayfield, Kentucky, which was among the hardest hit, the tornado leveled a candle factory that early reports suggested had 110 people inside during its night shift.
“I am praying that maybe original estimates of those we’ve lost were wrong," Beshear said when asked about the company's assessment."If so, it’s going to be pretty wonderful, but it’s pretty early.”Homes and business are reduced to rubble after a tornado ripped through the area two days prior, on December 12, 2021 in Mayfield, Kentucky.
