The Epoch Times A major storm system ripped through multiple U.S. states on Friday, hitting a candle factory in Kentucky with more than 100 employees still inside the building at the time the tornado struck, bringing down the roof and causing mass casualties.
The series of U.S. storms started early on Friday and are already blamed for multiple deaths and injuries across parts of the Midwest and South. In Kentucky, the death toll could exceed 100, the state’s governor said during a press briefing.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear told the early morning news conference that it is going to be “some of the worst tornado damage that we’ve seen for a long time,” calling the weather event a “mass casualty” incident.
