Dozens are feared dead inside a candle factory in the town of Mayfield.<\/p>\n<p>At least five people died as tornadoes wreaked havoc in other states, including one in an Amazon warehouse in Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Beshear has declared a state of emergency in Kentucky. He said the tornado system was the deadliest to ever run through the state.<\/p>\n<p>Mayfield and everywhere along the 227-mile (365-km) path of the tornado \u2013 almost all in Kentucky \u2013 was devastated, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s indescribable, unlike anything I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see parts of industrial buildings, roofs, or sightings in trees, if trees are lucky enough to stand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; Huge metal poles bent in half if not broken, buildings that are no longer there, huge trucks that have been picked up and thrown. And sadly far too many homes that people were likely in, entirely devastated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; There are a lot of families that need your prayers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Deaths had been reported in several counties, but the loss of life in the Mayfield factory could exceed that of any tornado event in a single location in state history, the governor added. More than 100 people were inside when it hit.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Beshear said 40 people had been rescued at the factory and he was praying for more survivors, but it was a \u201cvery dire situation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Local officials who visited the scene spoke of heavy machinery displaced by the storm, as well as drums leaking corrosive liquid .<\/p>\n<p>US President Joe Biden tweeted that he had been briefed about the tornadoes on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo lose a loved one in a storm like this is an unimaginable tragedy,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re working with governors to ensure they have what they need as the search for survivors and damage assessments continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police said the tornado caused \u201csignificant damage\u201d across the western parts of the state. A train was derailed during extreme winds in Hopkins County, Sheriff Matt Sanderson told WKYT-TV.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 70 people are reportedly lost in recent tornadoe, governor of the United States state of Kentucky has said.
