A Facebook video from inside a candle factory in Kentucky shows the horror experienced by people trapped by roofs and debris after multiple tornadoes hit several states.
In the viral video created by Kyanna Lou, people can be heard crying in the background after a tornado struck a candle factory in Mayfield.
“I don’t know who’s watching,” a woman can be heard saying in the clip. “We got hit by a hurricane. I’m at work in Mayfield and we are trapped.”
She continued: “Please y’all, give us some help. We are at the candle factory in Mayfield. Please, please. Y’all! Please send us some help. Somebody please send us some help, we are trapped.”
The woman also shared more details of their situation. “The wall is stuck on me. Nobody can get to us, y’all, we can’t move.”
She can be heard telling another person in the room to ‘calm down’ before saying: “Please y’all, pray for us, get somebody to come and help us. A tornado… and the building fell. We were all in the safe shelter place. The whole building fell. We are stuck.”
Storm watcher Chris Jackson said that fire personnel had arrived before 1 am.
“We have multiple cars kinda fused into a tractor-trailer, the candle factory was apparently 120,000sq ft and the entire building is gone and there is at least 1 vehicle sitting in what used to be the middle of the building,” he wroteon Twitter.
The deadly tornadoes killed a person in Missouri, a nursing home resident in Arkansas, trapped people inside an Amazon warehouse in Illinois, and leveled the town of Mayfield.
