flattened, twisted, much of the town gone. a catastrophic tornado leveled a candle factory in mayfield while it was full of workers. now, rescuers in distraught, and the family members are searching for those trapped and one survivor who managed to escape shared the moment she began to broadcasting live on facebook desperate for help. >> we are trapped, please, y'all, get us some help. we are at the candle factory in mayfield. please, please. y'all! please send us some help. somebody, please send us some help. we are trapped. the wall is stuck on me. nobody can get to us. y'all. please, we can't move. andrea, calm down. woo. y'all. please, y'all. pray for us. just get somebody to come to help us. >> palpable terror there. across hard hit parts of kentucky, the national guard is looking for signs of life and going door-to-door and knowing in some places the few doors are still standing. and rescuers are finding few people as an amazon plant, few people are at the site after a tornado hit that amazon warehouse. it is possible that we are witnessing the longest recorded tornado path in history. potentially 250 miles cutting across four states according to the national weather service. this video is showing a tornado that appears to have touched down along that same path. take a look. when you are seeing the lightning strike in the funnel cloud there, it is unbelievable. president biden is now surging the federal resources to the areas in a state of emergency, and very clearly still in shock. i want to go right now tho mayfield, kentucky, where cnn's reporter has been on the scene. nadia, right behind you is where the candle factory was. you can't see it, because of what happened overnight. what are you seeing as the desperate rescue efforts are continuing. >> yes, phil. it is so hard to imagine what it used to look like behind me. i think of this massive candle factory that was flattened during that tornado, and one man described it as a bomb going off. he used to work at the factory, and he came out to help pull the people out of the rubble overnight, and he could not believe his eyes wondering if he was in the right place. and that is what a lot of mayfield, kentucky, looks like, and a place that hardly anybody recognizes. from the overnight and morning hours have finally arrive and the governor calling for a state of emergency, and we know as you said, president biden is sending the national resources and the national guard is on the way. right now, what we are seeing is that people in kentucky are helping one another, and cities and counties here in mayfield come out in the past few hours to lend everything they can. and not just ems, and not just search teams, but companies bringing their heavy machinery to lift that debris to try to find people who are still alive. i mean, you can't just imagine what it is like for them to be underneath the rubble when that building fell. you showed the woman pleading on facebook and those same pleas are coming from the other side, and they are loved ones out there looking for them. a man named ivy williams came back out there after being out here for 10, 11 hours overnight pulling the people from the rubble, and looking for one person in particular, his wife, his soulmate and his partner of 30 years and still searching for her. >> and his wife. >> i am looking for my wife. if anybody knows her, please take my number, contact me, please. i have been looking for her ever since 10:30 last night. please help me. i want to find my wife. i want to find her. she is still somewhere, and i hope she is somewhere safe. please call me so we can get connected. please call me. i am looking for you, baby. we have been looking for you. please, we are all looking for you right now. >> absolutely unbearable to watch. just heartbreaking seeing ivy williams pleading for his wife, and calling me and everyone he knows and asking, have you seen her yet? what about since i called you last and any word. he says that she was put on a list, but he doesn't know what the list is for, is that the list of the people pulled out or not alive or the people sent to the area hospitals, and he is uncertain. we spoke with the county coroner's office here, and very few details, but he told us that there are 40 people unaccounted for and we asked how many people have died and how many people are in hospitals, and those answers we were not given because of course they are trying to notify the family first before they so, we are working on more details, phil, and when you arrive on the scene like this that is horrific is that you are taking a look at the first responders and how are they handling the situation, and a lot of times, they are stoic and calm and poised and when we arrived here this morning, we saw the firefighters that came from the rubble with the heads down and sobbing and bent over their cars emotional, because of the lives that have been lost here. that just talks to the devastation that we are seeing right here at the candle factory. phil? >> unquestionably heroic efforts paired with unimagine pain. thank you, nadia romero, for that report. joining us on the phone is the mayor, and first and foremost, the prayers with you and the entire community based on what has transpired over the course of the last few hour, and starting on cnn, the governor andy beshear said there has not been a successful rescue at the candle factory since 3:00 a.m., and can you give us an update on the efforts at that site. >> sadly, that statistic still stands, there has not been a successful recovery there since that time this morning. i was with the governor when he was at the candle factory. we are devastated. our hearts are broken for those families searching for their members who have lost their homes and they don't know where they are going sleep tonight. they don't know where they are going to go to work monday if ever again. and it is truly a devastating situation at the candle factory and as well as all over the town. >> and people were working overtimet that candle factory and the busiest time of the year because of the holidays, any sense of how many people may be unaccounted for or missing? >> i do not at this time. >> and i think that, mayor, one of the things that is breathtaking, and gut punch as we are looking at the drone footage of the town, and what has happened there or what happened there last night. can you explain you were on the ground, and what does your town look like compared to what it was 24 hours prior? >> our downtown look like matchsticks. i walked out this morning, and the whole city government campus is destroyed. our city government, and the mayor's office and the police department share a building, and it is destroyed across the driveway and the parking lot is the first fire station, and it has destroyed the fire chief who had to connect chains to his truck and pull the doors open to get the ambulances and the fire trucks the out this morning, and so we were there all night, and, and there all night, and we sheltered and had people sheltering in place there at our city hall down in the basement. we then were able to get the people out by school bus at some time to the school system to, the mayfield city school system with school bus, and so at 6:15 when i walked out of city hall this morning, i -- it looked like matchsticks, and downtown churches have been destroyed and the courthouse in the center of town has been destroyed. our water system is not functioning at this time. there is no power. there are few pockets of power within our county. some of the people who have within -- who have been misplaced from their homes are shuttled there. it is truly devastating and heartbreaking to look at our community. >> i can't even imagine. one question that i think that we have all been trying to get our head around the speed with which this came about and this time of the year, and by all accounts, it was a storm that came extremely fast. and residents got a 20-minute warning, and not a lot of time, but it is more than usual, and what about this terms of sheltering in maceplace, and so people were able to respond. >> yes, we are served by several tv station, and the closest to us is in paducah and the nbc affiliate there, and of course, the coverage was showing us the line it was coming, and so it was no surprise that it was headed our way. i think that we knew, and of course, all day we had been hearing it was a horrible system, and so we were prepared for it, but nothing prepares you for what when it is actually comes. and i mean, it is so typical of other tornadoes they have seen on coverages. i live about five blocks from city hall, and whereas, i was in my basement and heard the horrid train sound that you hear about all of the time. my house has no damage whatsoever, and thank god, but then five blocks away, our entire downtown is just destroyed. >> and the pictures are, you cannot even fathom what happened over that period of time, and particularly in such a fast moment. one of the questions, mayor, for those you mentioned how just the basic necessary tiitys the of day-to-day life, and those who are in need of housing or medical care, and you feel like you have facilities or staff to handle that and what do you as a community have that you need now? >> right now, we are in the process of setting up a distribution center for supplies. it isypical of our town and state of how people help, and when i travel all over kentucky and people ask what is strength and it is the people. typical by 10:00 last night, and by 10:30, we were getting supplies and food brought in even then. so right now, we are in the process of setting up a distribution of that. with all communications shutdown, we are relying on facebook, and the city offices destroyed, we cannot send out facebook messages, and so we are struggling with that, and they are being handled by the local media, and like i said. so, we just want people to be patient with us, because we want your generosity is to wonderful, but just give us time to get it where the news to you where you can take things to help. >> absolutely. we will absolutely pass along those messages when you have them, and please, if there is anything that you need or missing that you feel that we can get the message out, mayor, please do not hesitate to give us a ring, because our prayers are with you and the community, and thank you for your time. >> thank you, phil. i appreciate it. and kentucky was not the only place devastated by the overnight tornadoes. look at this place in evanstown, illinonois, where crews are desperately searching for workers. solve 3 problems at once with finish jetdry 3in1. we envisioned at times that we would lose one of our facilities. breaking news. but we never envisioned even in a pandemic that we might lose them all. our engineers and operations team worked with cisco to do whatever's necessary and bring whatever tools we have to bring to tell the best story. between what's news and what's now, there's a bridge. cisco. the bridge to possible. woman: i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are getting clearer ♪ ♪ yeah i feel free ♪ ♪ to bare my skin, yeah that's all me. ♪ ♪ nothing and me go hand in hand ♪ ♪ nothing on my skin that's my new plan. ♪ ♪ nothing is everything. ♪ woman: keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. most who achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months had lasting clearance through 1 year. in another study, most people had 90% clearer skin at 3 years. and skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. ♪ it's my moment so i just gotta say ♪ ♪ nothing is everything. ♪ skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches, or coughs or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. ♪ nothing is everything. ♪ woman: talk to your dermatologist about skyrizi. learn how abbvie could help you save. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates, whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. visit indeed.com/hire and get started today. when they're sick, they get comfortable anywhere and spread germs everywhere. wherever they rest protection nothing kills more viruses, including the covid-19 virus, on more surfaces than lysol disinfectant spray. lysol. what it takes to protect.

>> well, early on, and overnight, when we really had limited visibility, we were receiving dozens if not hundreds of phone calls wanting to know if their family members were okay and accounted for, and we simply had to put them in queue, and as soon as the sun rose, we put our troopers into action and they started to go to the addresses looking for people who were in their homes and accounted for and we tried to make contact with those loved ones to let them know, and those things, we are still doing that right now, and doing the welfare checks and basically going door-to-door or what used to be a door to make sure there is no one else inside. >> and one thing that is always great about this country, these communities, you always see the people in the aftermath of events like this wanting to pitch in, help, and do anything they can. from your perspective, are they advised to do that right now or should they stay inside and leave it to the local authorities for the time being? >> well, if you are in a safe place now, you need to stay in the safe place. i understand the want and desire to help. i think it is great that people have that, but you have to understand that hampers our ability to get to where we need to. just the ordinary traffic right now that is coming in out of town is hampering our ability just to get a few miles. and so, unless you have an absolute need to be there or responder, you need to stay in a safe place, and tune in for updates. >> and one of the main questions that we will be having throughout the next couple of hours and talking to white house officials about this, but in terms of the federal assistance and the assistance from outside of the state, what do you need right now, and the teams need to be able to do the job they need to do to help the people on the gro ground? >> well, the financial resources is going to be a big part of that, and the governor spoke earlier today about the request for emergency funds and obviously, we are getting national guard personnel, and i'm sure those will be far reaching. fema is on the way, and if they are not already in place. and just having those teams set up that unfortunately do this on a regular basis, and that is going to allow us, you know, the first responders who deal with crime or police response to get back to what we need to do to make sure that the community, because there is a community intact, and we have to make sure that it is still safe. >> absolutely. lieutenant dean patterson, kentucky state police, thank you for the team, and grateful for what you doing on the ground, sir. >> thanks. >> all right. coming up, a candle factory in mayfield, kentucky, collapsed in the storms last night in the tornados leaving those trapped inside and fearing they would not make it out. >> i am really scared. i am trying to be cool, y'all, but i am really scared, because where i am at, where i am at, i am like stuck underneath the walls, and i'm going to be the last person out, but i know that i am going to be okay. my plaque psoriasis... ...the itching... the burning. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine. my psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff, swollen... painful. emerge tremfyant®. with tremfya®, adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...can uncover clearer skin and improve symptoms at 16 weeks. tremfya® is the only medication of its kind also approved for adults with active psoriatic arthritis. serious allergic reactions may occur. tremfya® may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. emerge tremfyant® with tremfya®... ask you doctor about tremfya® today. what if you could have the perspective to see more?

>> it was the most terrifying thing that i have ever experienced in my life. it was almost shock, like, wait, is this really happening, you know. i love movies and i have watched all of the movies where things like this have happened and i am like, oh, my god, this is just like in the movie. it was extremely scary. at first, i was really calm, and trying to keep my co-workers calm, and you know, things like that, but after being pinned so long, and my legs i could not feel them, and move them, and then i started to panic myself. i started to call my mother, and prior to that i decided to go live and that is how everyone got to my live video, because when i called 911 they said, we know, we are trying to get there. and i was like, oh, i don't know how big mayfield is, but if they have that much damage, and if they are working on everywhere else, when are they getting to us, and i decided to go live, so that more people could come to see about us. >> you mean going live on facebook? >> yes. i went lye oive on facebook. >> and i understand because you could hear the folks around you shouting and pleading for help, and could you make out any specific people around you or nearby? >> one of my co-workers or people around us, they were saying their name, and somebody said, if you have their phone, call my family and tell them that i love them. so i called her family, and calling back and forth, and they were saying that the people are on the way and there, but we were so far under, that we didn't know that people were there until we started to feel the pressure, because people were walking on the building, and we were like, hey, we were under there, and we were hitting stuff, but we didn't want to hit too much, because they told us not to move too much, because it may make more stuff fall. >> how did you -- how were you able to get out? did someone move stuff around or get out on your own or did they lift you out? >> they definitely lifted me out, and one was pushing and pulling for me, but what happened is that we were all packed up in there in the corner. we were packed in there. and so, one person got out, and then they were able to get somebody else out, and somebody else out, and i was the last person in that section to get out. and i was pinned underneath the water fountain and i found out later that the water fountain, and behind the water fountain was an air conditioning unit, and so when one of the rescue people was there, and he said that there was five feet of debris on top of you. and so i was extremely scared. >> understandably. >> and so, getting the debris from underneath me, because we could not do anything with the top, they got everything from underneath me. they started to breaking up the drywall, but moving everything and with the people being gone, the rescue person was able to get down in there and he kind of helped me to shift my bottom, and i was able to twist my butt to get the leg free and then i was able to lift and pull my body out from underneath, and he took my shoe off for me, because it was going to be a problem to get out of that space. then they started, and i was able to turn and lift, and he was pushing, and he was literally underneath me and pushing my butt up, and somebody else pulling my arms and going like that. >> i want to bring in now, cnn meteorologist chad myers, and you almost cannot comprehend the pictures we are seeing, and yet, what i am reading about this, it is hardly justice to how huge the area of destruction was last night. >> well, you said it earlier in the show, 200 miles likely on the ground. we don't know if it is constant, but anywhere from all of the way from arkansas all of the way past what is likely here where that town where the lady was talking there, and going to central city. we know that bowling green was hit by a separate tornado rated eve ef-3, but we don't know how big that hit those town, and dawson springs hit very hard, and so many towns that were hit, because there are so many, and we don't have crews there yet, but there are certainly crews on the way to many, many place, and that storm on bowling green, and ef-3, somewhere around 150-mile-an-hour storms and some of them we are skipping, so maybe double counted and they will go down to pare that down, and we will see how many, and the chance of severe weather, but the ingredients here are not there for that type of weather. that is the good news, and yesterday, we had 80 degrees in memphis. 80 degrees on the december day, and then the cold front came slamming into it, and the air up, and the storms were rotating. today, we have a thunderstorm which is a squall line which makes wind, but not really big time rotation that it is taking to get that big of a storm. so from the south and georgia and southern alabama, but this is not a day like yesterday. you can go buy a bag of flour, and that is like the heat and the humidity, but you need more than heat and humidity to make what makes the tornado. so you have the bag of flour, and you can make a biscuit or the brownie, an different ingredient, but we don't have the ingredients today to get the weather like it is yesterday. and we haven't had the ingredients in a december, and you can see it in the top ten, those tornadoes don't happen in december, but on average, 23 in december, but with the climate warming, maybe it is going to be longer, like the hurricane season is longer, and we know that the forest season is longer as well. >> you mentioned dawson springs, and the pictures there are horrifying from the perperspect, and everything is horrifying, but those in particular. and chad, for those now on the ground, and first responders, what should they be expecting in terms of future weather stemming from the future hours and days ahead? >> cold air. it is now in the 40s there. after these big time weather events of yesterday in the 70s and 80s, now all of the sudden in the 40s and tonight's lows should be in upper 20s and upper 30s, and so those are not good conditions if you are stuck somewhere waiting for the first responders to find you or good conditions for the first responders to find you. so that is the cold front that made all of this. and so we have to expect that. >> yes, chad meyer, appreciate it as always, sir. all right. our breaking news continues and more than 30 tornadoes causing death and destruction across six different states and 70 people feared dead in kentucky alone. how the white house is responding coming up next. and along the ride, you'll have many questions. challenges. and a few surprises. ♪ but wherever you are on your journey. your dell technologies advisor is here for you - with the right tech solutions. so you can stop at nothing for your customers. at vanguard, you're more than just an investor, you're an owner with access to financial advice, tools and a personalized plan that helps you build a future for those you love. vanguard. become an owner.

will address the nation shortly. arlette, i was struck by how many of the moments the president has had to address in his first seven months in office. obviously, he views himself as particularly good at addressing them because of the empathetic way, but what do you expect to hear from the president and someone who has covered him for years? >> well, phil, this is the first time that we are hearing directly from president biden about the devastating storms that swept across five states friday into sunday morning. it will give the president two opportunities. one, to lay out the federal response and what it looks like, and also to assume the role of comforter in chief, and something that we have seen so often from this president even going back to the time as vice president and senator, and it is something that he can relate to and share how he understands the tragedy and the feelings that people are experiencing right now, as they have lost loved ones and also seeing their homes and belongings scattered and are facing the moment where they are going to have to rebuild their lives in the wake of the storms. now the president is going to be speaking in a short while from wilmington, delaware, where he is going to spend the weekend, and he is receiving updates from the team in washington where he is in delaware and he has had a briefing with his homeland security adviser, lynn sherwood miranda, and also he is sending resources to the impacted states. and fema has reported two management assistance teams en route now, and two other teams on standby to deploy to kentucky or other areas impacted as those states say if they need additional help, but certainly in a short while, we will hear from the president and not just talk about the federal response efforts, but share some words of sympathy and condolences for the people who have lost their loved ones and seen so many of their lives shattered due to the storms. >> it is something that he has had do far

was a full structure here. he told me that there was all lighting structures in here, but now you can see that the walls have blown out and everything is now on the ground here, blown away. as we come down here, off of highway 70, we'll go somewhat down the road. going to make sure my photographer is safe right now as we're walking. it is muddy out here. but you look down sneed road and even just right here at this tree, look at the twists in the branches of the tree. thomas, right over here. this tree. you can see the twists on the branches then all the way down the road, the debris that carries towards those homes right there. as far as damage goes, we haven't been able to get down there because there are powerlines that are down on the ground right now. we can see that there are some roofs off at this point and we did just check in with the fire ch chief that's out here. he says they don't have any updates on any injuries at this moment because they have been able to sweep down here. we did see flashlights out here and rescue crews down here. they're also trying to get down highway 70 and work with some of the people that are clearing the roads to try and get there. at this point, they still haven't reached buttersworth road, but we do know from one of the gentleman and his crew that were clearing the road, he told me that they have been able to clear all the way to miller hill road and then he said he was told that the road is clear on highway 70 all the way to the harpeth river bridge. just take a look at all of the damage, the debris out here. these are lighting fixtures. that's what one of the workers told me that is part of this electric company that's here on u.s. 70. up in front of us here, that's the office of the building. beyond that is where the rescue crews are working. it's incredible to see them out there. the fire chief is there with a white board. he's on the radio talking to people that are in different areas of kingston springs
