At least 70 feared dead in Kentucky as tornadoes rip through swaths of U.S. (msn.com)

A Kentucky candle factory devastated by extreme tornadoes was actively hiring and had about 110 employees working the late shift when the extreme weather hit

• Some 110 people were working at Mayfield Consumer Products in Kentucky when the building collapsed Friday night. 
• The family-owned company makes branded candles and home fragrance products. 
• About 40 people have been rescued from the rubble.

Acandle factory in Kentucky where workers were trapped when extreme tornadoes ripped through the area had been looking to hire more employees and was operating a second shift with more than 100 people in the building when the severe weather hit.

About 40 people have been rescued from the rubble, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said during a Saturday press conference. About 110 people were working in the facility when the storms arrived and at least 70 people are feared dead across the state, he said.

The factory — owned by Mayfield Consumer Products, a family-owned business that produces branded candles and home fragrance products — was among the hardest hit locations, as tornadoes and severe weather hit multiple states late Friday, causing catastrophic damage.

According to local reports, crews were at the scene of the Mayfield factory early Saturday to rescue employees stuck among the ruins. Video of Mayfield shows the town partially leveled by the severe weather.

Callie Lemle, the wife of Graves County Economic Development President Jason Lemle, told WPSD Local 6 that she was unsure how many people were trapped, but said people were digging through the rubble to free trapped staffers. She said help was needed and encouraged volunteers to come bringing gloves, headlamps, and equipment.
