In Mayfield, Ky., 110 people were working at a candle factory when it was hit, Beshear said. “They rescued 40. There’s at least 15 feet of metal with cars on top of it. Barrels of corrosive chemicals that are there. It’ll be a miracle if anybody else is found alive in it.” “This is one of the toughest nights in Kentucky history,” Beshear said earlier Saturday. “We will make it through this. We will rebuild.” The devastation in the Mayfield area goes beyond the factory, and several surrounding counties are pitching in with EMS help as the main emergency services hub in the town itself was in the direct line of the storm, local officials said Saturday. The water tower was hit too, leaving the town without water.
