much-needed resources to the devastated communities. storms unleashed more than 30 tornados late friday into early saturday, destroying buildings and claiming lives across six states, and one twister, just one, may be responsible for damage along a 250-mile stretch from arkansas to kentucky. officials now fear as many as 80 people may have lost their lives. here in edwardsville, authorities say a recovery effort could take three tase days, as we look at what's left of this amazon warehouse behind me. at least six people died after a tornado just carved through the building. 11-inch concrete walls falling in. the roof collapsing. roughly 45 people made it out, but getting an exact number of how many were in the warehouse at the time has proved difficult. these were shift workers, a lot of people coming and going. rescue and -- search and cries operations i should say have shifted into search and recovery operations. officials not expecting to find anyone else alive underneath the rubble. it is mayfield, kentucky, though, that may be the hardest hit area in this set of storms. it's estimated that more than 100 people were working in a candle factory when the tornado hit, and kentucky's governor andy beshear says just 40 have been rescued there. officials and loved ones have been searching for the missing and they are stunned by what they're seeing. here's some of what they shared with us. >> this is probably the worst thing i ever seen in my life in person and i've been several places and i've seen, you know -- this is terrible. >> somebody said that's the candle factory right there. you got to be kidding me. it was nothing but a pile of metal, and it was just shock. >> tell you these storms have completely altered the landscape of mayfield, kentucky. in fact, there are just a few buildings that are left standing in the town of about 10,000. the national guard and other kentucky commonwealth personnel are conducting house-to-house searches and, of course, debris removal. kentucky's governor and president biden each reassuring kentuckians that everything is being done to help. >> the federal government is not going to walk away. this is one of those times when we aren't democrats or republicans. sounds like hyperbole, but it's real. we're all americans. we stand together as the united states of america. >> just want everybody to know that you are not alone. today kentucky is absolutely united, we're united with our people, we're united to find and rescue as many as possible. >> let's take you straight to mayfield, kentucky, now and cnn's nadia romero. nadia has been there since very early on, soon after these storms hit. nadia, yesterday you were speaking to people that rushed to that scene of the candle factory looking for loved ones. they were very emotional, very distraught by the destruction that they saw. have you spoken to them? have they connected with their loved ones? what are you seeing now? >> yeah. boris, it's so sad to have to report this, but, you know, it's been since about 3:00 a.m. yesterday morning since first responders were able to pull out a survivor from that rubble over the at the candle factory not far from where we are right now in mayfield. we interviewed a man named ivy williams, who really spoke from his heart a broken heart, speaking about his missing wife, janine williams, who was working at the candle factory trying to get some overtime, trying to get those orders out, as we are just about two weeks from the christmas holiday and her and her coworkers were in that factory when the building collapsed. it came down during that tornado, and he hasn't heard from her since. he's being optimistic, holding on to a little bit of hope she may just be simply unresponsive at an area hospital and that's why she hasn't reached out. that speaks to the dire situation across kentucky and specifically here in mayfield, the governor is calling ground zero. take a look behind me, you can see absolute destruction and every corner looks just like this one. to the left you will see this area where some cars are in front, some pickup trucks that used to be an auto shop there on the corner. on this side there was latino supermarket. next to me was a vibrant antique mall. this was thriving intersection here on eighth and broadway, and now, i mean what will it take to put this back together? when you talk to people, they tell you about the loss of life, but then also the loss of history, the loss of the story of this town that was told in these bhgsuildings that have be standing for hundreds of years and now they're rig trying to rebuild that and recover anyone under this rubble. barbara patterson explains her story of survivingal and what et left of what used to be her neighborhood. take a listen. >> this was my home until last night. me and him to be able to get somewhere and be together, find us place and be together, and then get our family back. we're very oriented family, and that's what's carrying us through right now, is our family and the lord. >> reporter: and so many in this community came out right after the storm and tried to help out. we saw people all day yesterday, no doubt they will be out again today, with buckets of food and pallets of water giving to first responders and survivors. what makes this storm so deadly, not just the storm event itself, but now the aftermath. there's no power here, there's no heat for anyone. it is cold, cold, cold. if there is someone trapped inside their home, maybe in a basement or cellar, you're trying so hard to get to them, that's why it's so important to have those resources come in like the national guard going door to door to try to make sure everyone that is inside of a building that may be trapped gets out safely. >> so much heart ache, so much work ahead, but as we have seen time and time again, what's been heartwarming is to see neighbors helping neighbors. nadi nadia romero, thank you for your reporting. it's the before and after images that really reveal the true scale of destruction from friday night's deadly tornados. just take a look, on the left you can see drone footage of the county courthouse in mayfield, kentucky, before the storm and then on the right that is the after picture. the same area completely destroyed. to monette, arkansas, what used to be a nursing home no longer recognizable. the entire area just wiped out. when you go further north to edwardsville, illinois where boris sanchez is, an amazon warehouse partially hit by the tornado. you can see where it was hit. that part of the building completely collapsed. six people were killed as a result. that candle factory in mayfield, kentucky, now in complete ruins. emergency crews rescued a number of employees trapped under that debris there on the the right. but we are told dozens were killed when that building came down. those recovery efforts are ongoing. it's not clear yet exactly how many people have been injured by the tornados. dr. brad houseman is vice president and chief medical officer of baptist health paducah. doctor, thank you so much for joining us. first of all, i just want to start with those images in mayfield of the candle factory, and it really is astounding to look at those images and to comprehend that about 40 people made it out alive, 40 out of 110. when you hear that, what do you think? >> yeah. the images really are very devastating, and we're just fortunate we've had the number of survivors we have had to this point. >> tell me a little bit about the types of injuries that you are seeing. >> yeah. the injuries that we've seen to this point have been consistent with folks that have been trapped or immobilized within the building. when folks think about a tornado or trauma, they may think about things like lacerations or broken bones, and certainly we're prepared for that, but what we're seeing are more injuries consistent with folks that were immobilized and had deep tissue or muscle injuries from being confined in those spaces. >> and i mean, has the hospital where you work, have you guys been overwhelmed with patients? what are the scenes looking like? >> well, beginning early in the day friday we were following along with the weather and we were prepared for significant casualties should they occur. after the event, the stream of patients, if you will, was steady throughout the night, but as was mentioned we haven't seen any survivors since early yesterday. >> you know, the governor, andy beshear, said yesterday regarding the candle factory that it would be a miracle if anybody else was found alive. we know time is of the essence. do you share the same sentiment, doctor? >> absolutely. it was definitely a chilly evening overnight. then as time goes by, even though we remained hopeful and optimistic, the chapsnce of survivors being found lessens drama dramatically. >> what has access for health care been for many of these survivors, many who have been injured? officials in dawson springs, i think that's where -- not dawson springs, but we've been seeing the images and how neighborhoods have been wiped out and we were told the closest hospital to dawson springs is about 20 miles away. has that hampered any efforts to help the injured? >> we were able to mobilize forces throughout the region and so we were able to get care for the folks that needed it. so to this point, all the surrounding health care facilities have done a great job of caring for the folks in this community. >> so there's no issues with power or damage to any of the health care facilities? >> i can't speak for the hospital there in mayfield. certainly here in paducah we were fortunate not to have any damage here, and so we were ready and prepared to offer any help and take care of any patients as need be. >> we thank you for what you and your colleagues are doing and continue to do. dr. houseman, thank you. boris? >> absolutely. thank you. meantime amara, president biden has said he plans to travel to the region to survey damage in the coming days, not wanting to divert any resources away from areas that need them. white house reporter kevin liptack is traveling with the president in wilmington, delaware. walk us through what the white house is doing to help these communities that have been impacted by these storms? >> reporter: yeah, this is really a test of confidence for any president and president biden is no exception. right now, boris, his focus is on ensure every federal dollar, every federal resource, makes it to these states without getting bogged down in bureaucratic red tape, ensure the federal government is talking to state governments, is talking to local governments, and really making sure every state gets what they need. the president spoke yesterday with governors from five states, including the governor of kentucky, at least three times. one of the things he's asked his officials to do is to proactively tell these governors what is available to them, what resources they're entitled to, so that they know what they have coming to them. the president said yesterday that he did want to visit kentucky, but he didn't want to divert resources. today you will see a delegation from the biden administration head down to kentucky clushgs the fema administrator and the secretary of homeland security. they will be speaking to local officials. there are already resources from fema on the ground, rescue teams, things like water. one of the things that the president said that he was particularly focused on was housing, ensure that people who have lost their homes have a place to go. another thing the president said yesterday, he wanted to keep politics out of this. listen to what he had to say. >> those times when we aren't democrats or republicans. sounds like hyperbole, but it's real. we're all americans. we stand together as the united states of america. i promise you, whatever is needed, whatever is needed, the federal government is going to find a way to supply it. >> reporter: so the president really in crisis manager mode now. but he did off hint that this may be moving into an investigatory phase. at some point he talked about wanting to find out if there were any missed warnings that could have led to further devastation. he talked about asking the epa to look at whether climate change may have made these storms more severe. the president will be turning to the consolar in chief phase. he has played this role multiple times now over the course of the presidency. he said yesterday his heart aches for the people who are affected by these storms. boris? >> it is a role, kevin, that sadly he is very familiar with. kevin liptack, reporting from wilmington, delaware, thank you. we know many of you watching want to do something to help the victims of this tragedy. fortunately, you can. cnn impact your world, the website, has verified ways that you can lend a helping hand. that site is going to be updated as more information on resources becomes available. you can go there right now, it's cnn.com/impact. you can learn more about how to help these folks when they need it most. we're going to have more, the latest headlines from across the region, after a quick break. exposed dentin to help repair sensitive teeth. my patients are able to have that quality of life back. i recommend sensodyne repair and protect with deep repair. ♪ feel stuck with credit card debt?

searching for any survivors. >> the governor of kentucky says that more than 70 people may have died in that state alone. one of the most devastated sites, you're looking at it now, a candle factory, in mayfield where more than 100 people were working. were told so far 40 have been rescued. in illinois, six people died in the collapse of an amazon warehouse. it's right behind me. emergency officials in tennessee are now reporting four deaths there. aerial footage showing a house with a roof ripped right off, trees nearby uprooted. this massive storm system spawning as many as 30 tornados that ripped across six states. we want to bring in kathy owenan, now, the mayor of mayfield, kentucky, where the candle factory collapsed. mayor, thank you so much for joining us this morning. i understand you're someone that has very deep ties to mayfield? you've lived there since 1976 and you were a teacher there and a lot of the people that work in the city now, were your students. i'm wondering, as you survey the damage, how you're feeling and how you're holding up seeing all the devastation? >> we are doing well, boris, as well as can be expected. our immediate concern right now, of course, is the safety and you look at the rescue and are recovery, and we are hoping all the people who lost their homes were able to find shelter last night. it's 30 degrees here now. it's really cold. there are -- we lost a water tower so there's no water flowing within the city of mayfield. that is an immediate concern, as well as the protection, the warmth for our citizens. >> and, mayor, i'm curious to find out about the workers at the candle factory, if you knew folks that worked there? becau because mayfield is a small town, 10,000 people, and this was a major employer and in the middle of the holidays, they were working 24/7 what can you tell us about the people there? >> i learned last night one of my former students worked there and lost their life. i also learned that a gentleman who we had a work program with some of the inmates from our local jail who were released to work there, had to have a deputy with them at all times and that deputy lost his life. it is hitting home as far as public -- the loss of their souls to us as we learn more and more about who will not be with us anymore. >> mayor, i'm so sorry for your loss. it's painful to look at these images and to know that there are people that you had a profound effect on that suffered the unimaginable there. as we take a look at other areas of mayfield, what is the next step for you in terms of recovery? what is it that you need that local, state, federal officials might be able to do to help you get over some of the hurdles toward building back stronger? >> we are in close communication with the governor. i was with him yesterday. i've just learned that he will be back in mayfield today. learning what he's making available to us through the state. i've spoke with senator mitch mcconnell yesterday and know that the federal government is right there to help us. locally, we are -- all of west kentucky, yesterday when i was at the candle factory, there were working alongside our own rescue emt workers are were groups as far away from louisville kentucky. our traffic control was being controlled by the pa pa due ka police department, leaving our police department to take care of things within the city. the efforts there are just amazing. all we have to do is ask the people around us and they are ready. so many people saying what can we do? the organization of that is, i wouldn't say overwhelming, but it's going to take a lot of organization and so that's the stage where we are today. >> and we know that the workers that are on-site are doing everything that they can to find anyone that may be trapped and doing everything they can to help those that may have been injured. mayor, i'm curious as to whether you've heard of any other rescues, perhaps at the candle factory or elsewhere? any light in this darkness that you might be able to share with us? a story of survival, perhaps? >> i'm so sorry, i don't have a specific one for you today at this moment. i just briefly spoke with our fire chief who is in charge of our emergency services as well, and there have been at the candle factory no more rescues. i did not ask him about recoveries. i hope as the supn is coming up here and the day progresses i do hear more stories such as those, of miracles. because they are out there, and i'm sure we will hear about them. >> we have to keep hope, not open only for a miracle but a recovery. this is a tight-knit community that will build back and if there's any way we can help you in that process please don't hesitate to reach out. we're sorry for the devastation and for the loss that you've incurred, again, with people that you had a profound impact on as a teacher, but we're grateful for your time. thank you for share your time with us this morning. >> thank you for your coverage, boris. i appreciate it so much. >> of course. thanks. next up for us, more stories of survival from those who lived through the

tornados across the central u.s., many survivors are struggling to try to rebuild this morning. some lost loved ones, others everything they owned. >> those affected by the storms spoke with us about what it's like to be right in the middle of a nightmare. one of the worst tornado outbreaks on record. here's some of what they shared with us. people looking for my wife. so if anyone knows, please contact me. i want to find my wife. i want to find her and know if she's somewhere safe. i hope she's somewhere safe. >> i never dreamed this. i just thought maybe a shingle or two, and i lost it when they brought me this morning. >> just pushed me back. dog fell on top of me. everything was falling apart. >> terrifying. i'm just blessed to be alive right now. hate to see it happen to my hometown where i grew up at. >> i remember seeing just all the power, the last thing i remember the power went out, the sky turned blue and then i seen the funnel cloud over that way. i ran inside. i told my other buddy in bed, out here trying to finish a cigarette, barely made it back inside and that was it. everything started caving in. it was nuts, man. we're all right, man. >> a girl that had a newborn, it blew the roof off of her house and she just so happened to wake up right before it happened and was able to get the baby out of there before it actually hit. >> it was the most terrifying thing that i have ever experienced in my life. at first i was really calm, but then after being pinned down for so long and my legs were hurting and i couldn't move them and i couldn't feel them and things like that, i started to panic myself. i was calling my mother. when i called 911, they said we know. we're trying to get there. if they're working everywhere else, who is going to come get us? >> it's a very sad day, and i think people are just amazed when they come out of their basements or cellars and see their home was just missing, it's just not there. >> we got in the closet and a huge crash came through and it was our neighbor's tree that just came through the entire back bedroom. >> one minute there was a window and a wall, and the next minute there wasn't. >> definitely scary. i was panicking. started hearing glass bits flying through the house and realized that this thing was on top of me. >> the windows start breaking, dogs flying through the air, i didn't know what to do. walls feel like they was caving in. it was very scary. >> so there were at least 30 reported tornados friday night stretching south to mississippi and hitting as far north as illinois. >> the deadly storm system could have possibly spawned a single tornado that carved a 250-mile long path of destruction through four states. let's go now to meteorologist tyler malden in the cnn weather center for more on this. tyler? >> only a handful of tornados have ever tracked more than 200 miles. in fact, the longest tracked tornado in history is back in 1925 at 219 miles in length. the tornado in question here, that could potentially have broken that record, is the one that went across the four states, arkansas, missouri, tennessee, and kentucky, same one that hit monette and left behind before and after images like this. it continued to track and we were tracking it for roughly four hours friday night. it went over mayfield as well, same system that left behind before and after images like this in neighborhoods in mayfield. absolute destruction. not only did that quad state tornado potentially track more than 200 miles, but we could have potentially seen two tornadoes track more than 200 miles. the national weather service has to assess the damage and do some research here to make sure that the two did track more than 100 miles. so that's something that we'll have to confirm a little later down the road. what we have seen here and the national weather service has sent out crews to begin surveying the tornado damage to determine the intensity of these tornados, just from aerial views here in kentucky, we have seen ef-3 level damage. once we get on the ground and start assessing the damage, it could be possible that some of those tornadoes in kentucky are confirmed at a higher level, maybe an ef-4, ef-5. going into edwardsville and defiance in illinois, we also have ef-3 damage possible here as well. when i say more than ef-3, we're talking ef-4, ef-5, which is devastating to incredible damage and winds in excess of 200 miles possibly. 200 miles per hour. >> wow. yeah, that is very powerful. tyler malden, thank you so much. after the break, we will get an update from kentucky emergency manager michaels doss with the latest on the recovery efforts. umpirere: ball! good eye! good eye! eyes are good for lots of thingsgs. like reading! be the best,

officials say the buildings were destroyed in an explosion triggered by a large gas leak. let's get right to barbie nadeau in rome. hi there. what more can you tell us about what officials are saying about the blast? >> reporter: that's right. this happened late last night and, you know, there were people at home, it was kind of a cold night and there were a lot of people in their homes at the time, and they tonight know exactly what triggered this explosion. they think it could be when someone used the elevator in the building and because the gas had been leaking no one recognized the smell, and it blew up these three residences, affect mean other buildings in the quite small, close knit town. there are about 50 people who are left homeless from this. it's devastating because it's a small place, everybody knows each other and everybody knew who was home and who was -- who they're searching for. that's been traumatic for the people involved in this horrific accident. amara? >>
