after a concrete slab fell on him at the factory spoke to fox and friends last hour. he told us nobody prevented him from leaving because his supervisor was out for the whole week. he says production is a priority and getting the product out is a priority so sometimes the product comes before emergencies. when i was looking outside i saw the ice cream cone and started backing up. as the thunder hit i started running back and people started running towards me. reporter: house after house we toured have been condemned, they can t be salvaged and will have to be torn down. thousand by living in shelters. you walk outside your town doesn t look like a town anymore. it is nothing but trouble. everything you love and all the memories you have, it is heartbreaking to see that. reporter: the cleanup here will literally take years according to the kentucky governor.
