Kentucky was hardest hit as four tornadoes, including a massive storm, devastated a town and collapsed a factory building
Seven central and southern US states were searching for survivors and surveying the devastation Saturday after a series of powerful tornadoes intensified by severe storms ripped across the region, leaving an estimated 70 to 100 people dead.
By early evening, officials had confirmed 29 deaths, including 22 in three Kentucky counties, many of those in a candle factory in Mayfield that had around 110 employees working the night shift when a tornado roared through.
