trent okerson: the candle factory is a major employer in mayfield. this was right before christmas, and a lot of people that were working extra hours trying to do overtime, and their facility was packed that friday night. autumn kirks: i was working at mcp, the candle factory, that night. me and joe did work together at the factory. usually they try not to put couples together, but for some reason, we've always made it work. he was so goofy. he'd do anything to put a smile on anybody's face. kim klockow mcclain: the night of the storm, the couple were sheltering together when the tornado hit the candle factory. i didn't hear a single thing at all. all i heard was people talking. and then all of a sudden someone said, take cover. brad copeland: the best way i can describe it would be a war zone.
