A worker at a candle factory in Kentucky posted a harrowing video on Facebook while trapped inside the building.
In the video, Kyanna Lou pleads for help and says that she and other colleagues were stuck behind a wall after the tornado hit the factory.
Lou says in the video that he's scared and that he's trying to be cool.
I don't know who is watching. We were hit by a storm. We are trapped at work.
Please give us some help. We are at a candle factory. She asked, please.
Several people are crying and wailing in the background.
Lou says in the video that she had gone numb as she couldn't move her legs because they were told not to.
The video pans to show another worker being buried.
Lou can be seen telling the camera that she had been rescued in a video that was posted two hours later.
Beshear said he was worried about more than 50 workers at the candle factory.
He said in a press conference that he thought there were more than 50 dead. Confirmation is coming in from each individual. It will be close to 70 and 100. It's devastating.
