It’s not surprising that they’re leaving out the fact that the employees were told, “if you leave, you’re more than likely to be fired”. All employers should be held accountable for making employees stay during severe weather.

Heard some employees were wanting to leave but if they did don't bother coming back. Some did leave and the company building is gone. Glad you survived. God bless.

It is haunting to see and hear so much destruction. The entire town is going to need an emotional support group and a LOT of continued prayers for a very long time. 🙏

I’m in tears, my heart goes out to every single person and animal that endured this devastation… and continue to. The one thing I keep hearing, no matter what the situation, is “ I’m so blessed “. These people are inspiring. God bless, my prayers and love are being sent to you all. 🙏🏻💜

Did the factory boss (who said workers would be fired if they left work east or didn’t appear to work) survive? If so, I wonder how he feels about all this.

She is clearly still in shock, I could only imagine! Just knowing anyone that perished in events like this would be devistating! And that life is really something to cherish!! I'm so 💔 for everyone there. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

I’m from Kentucky and this breaks my heart to her cry bless her heart . My son is helping with the search and rescue people and he’s already just mentally exhausted so I couldn’t imagine how the people that were actually in the storms are feeling . 😢💔🙏🏻

Why was the factory open when there was a tornado alert?? It just seems like candles were considered to be more important than human life.... ???

OMG this is so horrific😔. My heart bleeds for these people what a terrifying experience. Prays to all of you for healing 🙏🙏🙏

Those boys are heroes for saving other people's lives. Bless them all.

I can't imagine what these people went through, it must have been terrifying. My condolences to those families who lost loved ones and a speedy recovery for the injured.

I cannot comprehend the fear and pain that these people were going through even though we are hit by terrifying hurricanes in Dominica. My prayers to all of you

So hard to think of the suffering from this horrific disaster! Praying that people will heal both physically and emotionally.

I pray for all those deceased and survivors and also all those that lost everything . May He give you strength to carry on and rebuild your lives . Prayer and love from downunder .

I hope she gets counseling. PTSD can destroy your life long after the event. So can survivors gilt which so many end up having

My heart to all those in that factory

The CANDLE factory has become the focal point of this tragedy. This is significant showing to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear how far we are into bible prophesy. The following verse is about the fall of "Babylon the Great" "And the light of a CANDLE shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." Rev 18:23 Luke 21:28 - And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Trust in Jesus

What she was saying was: "It's hurting me"

I'm deeply sorry, prayers are with all of you, stay strong 💐

Thank you for this story. Prayers to the families that have endured this hardship.

Thank God, I've been praying for you and your family Sharla. I was afraid to message you on FB. I know I should have but I was afraid of what I would find out. I just took a deep breath of relief. I was explaining to my mom who you was. To be honest I didn't know you worked at the candle factory I just knew you lived in Mayfield. I don't get on FB often or I'm sure I would have heard from Gina you was OK. I will keep praying for you, and your family and work family. I'm sorry for the loss of so many of them. May God give you all peace that passes all understanding.

Praying for everyone

I’m praying 🙏 all my friends mayfield Kentucky.thank you everybody help.god bless you all service members

Other business owners shut down and made their workers go home to be with their loved ones. Most survived.

This is so sad 😢 Mother Nature 🌬 can be so cruel. Prayers to everyone affected by this tragedy.

May God bless you all and heal your wounds. Thank God for surviving and let us never forget those loved ones we lost.

Mrs. Payne, take your recovery slow, please. PTSD is what you all will have from this. One minute, you can be fine. The next, you could be yelling, screaming, or crying. This is normal when you recover from trauma. God bless and keep us informed so that we can keep you and the whole group of everyone that has been hit by this terrible storm.

Wow, "up against the wall." WHERE ARE THE SAFE ROOMS???

It's a miracle she survived ,by the looks of that place

Dear God please wrap your loving hands around all of these people and ease their pain. Bless all those involved.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The horror is unimaginable 💔

God bless you and all involved, I’m so sorry you had to go through this.😢💕🙏🏻

I don’t recall tornadoes happening in December. Isn’t this a very unusual occurrence?

Prayers to all of the people who didn't make it and those who did make it. I hope all who are going through this can keep their heads up. This to shall pass.

So sorry you had to deal with that event Sharla Payne... My thoughts and prayers are with everyone effected by this crazy weather event. Much love all around, from the Pacific Northwest. - xplrnw

Had to be terrifying. Praying for all of them daily for healing from this. My heart really goes out to them.

God bless you all, stay strong. God's love will help in time of sorrow. 🙏

*I am not going to buy any products from this company. It appears they chose product over people and as a consumer I won't support that type of corporate behavior. You are located in a tornado prone area and have no backup plan* .

I just donated bags of items. Hope they reach you well. My son's warehouse filled boxes. God bless you all. Your in my heart.

The screaming was terrifying 😢

Your voice crying for help..just makes me feel your pain. The toughest parts of life can bring out the best in a person. You will get through this. It's going to take time. Have faith in God and mercy.

God Bless You.

Incredible. Thankful you're safe now. So scary I'm certain. Hope you all know we care!

Lord, send a legion of angels to help these poor souls.

Why are they showing us a twig on a tree at 23 seconds next to the factory ? Is somebody trying to say that they don't believe a tornado caused this factory to collapse ? I did notice how strange this collapsed factory looks from drone footage. You see very little to zero debris outside the factory walls. That's unusual in an E4 tornado. 200-300 mile per hour winds usually blow millions of pieces of paper and cardboard outside a collapsed building. Yet one sees almost zero debris in the parking lot or surrounding lawn areas next to this factory . That's highly unusual during an E4 tornado. Also , where's this buildings security cameras to show us all the wind blowing around at the moment the building collapsed ? You know this factory must have dozens of security cameras . Where's that footage ? Even at night time , you'd see the impact of a tornado hitting a factory that large. Where's that footage ? Id like to see it.

Love and light and prayers!

It is so terrible that that company put their profits over people, but that is what corporatocracy is all about.

Every video on the aftermath chokes me up or brings me to tears, I can't imagine. My heart goes out to everyone effected

Is it true that the supervisors at that candle factory told the scared, frightened employees “If you leave, you’re fired”- The supervisors are 💯 responsibile for the deaths of the employees!!!!

Thank you for sharing my heart bleeds for y'all may God bless you and your community during this difficult time ❤🙏🙏🙏

Prayers to all involved 🙏 especially the victims

PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING 🙏🏻😌 for everyone who went through these horrific disasters,.. YOUR MATERIALS WILL GET REPLACED EVENTUALLY, BUT ONLY TYE POWER OF GOD CAN HEAL THE REST,.. PRAY WITH ALL YOUR HEART!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😌

I bought some candles the other day, and before I put them in the cart I looked at them to make sure that they were NOT from Mayfield Consumer Products. This is one company that I could never, ever support. They literally worked these people to death. That's the America we live in: Profits before people.

I think the owners and supervisors of Mayfield should be in prison for life. Lock them up!

Take care and God bless you all. Don't lose hope, you will be able to recover what you have lost. God bless you all. our prayers for you all, from the Philippines.

Se nota q las que estaban atrapadas hablando en el video eran latinas, se escucha cuando la señora le dice: Andrea no te muevas que te vas a lastimar. Quien sabe cómo fue la situación minutos antes del tornado.

They'll all have PTS

This trauma takes years to get over. May God be with you and know that many are praying for you all in Kentucky.

It will be a good terrifying movie about a disaster ..this is a nightmare

Praying for them 🙏💗.

Sending prayers to your town bless everyone there

My heart sunk listening to her video footage good god may love always shelter her soul

Praying for every single one of them. Stay strong 🙏

A very touching story. Wish them all the best!

God bless all of you never been through a tornado but lost 2 houses in a hurricane in Houston

Praying for You and all of the families for comfort and strength to carry You n keep you in Jesus Name. My heart breaks for everyone who is affected by the tornadoes and going thru this tragedy.

So flipping Sad!!! I couldn't even finish watching this!!!

Lord God please guide us and help us to understand what’s going on in this world. Amen

A tragic story to tell hard for me to give a thumbs up.

I'd love to have some candles from that factory.

Smh 😢

I live in Mayfield and i can tell you, this company is getting sued! They wouldnt let anyone leave before it even happend.

Was there no tornado warning? Just curious.

Saya sedih dengan apa yang terjadi kepada kamu. ❤ to people there

Survivor’s guilt is very common after a tragedy. Please have some help sent to deal with the survivors

God Blessed. Take Time. Be patient With yourself. 🙏

I'm so sorry praying for everyone.

Many Blessings and prayers 🙏

When the Southside Tower collapsed in Florida, it was huge national coverage. Where are all the news outlets? Where is the energy for these losses??

*WHY IS NO ONE ASKING WHY EVERYONE WAS WORKING DURING A TORNADO???? EVERYONE KNEW IT WAS OUT THERE!!!*

Candles in the Wind 🔥🌀🙏💔

God BLESS you all

God bless you ! And everyone who went through this storm . Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones!

So sad

Born in the Midwest, this is what we go through..our bathtub is the only place to run to…it’s no joke

God was with her! Wow

I heard the company owners didn’t allow the employees to go home even though they knew tornadoes were coming. I hope the victims sue them because many people died because of stupidity of leadership

We must all ask for forgiveness and keep our eyes on our father. No other way about it !

Now everyone you have phones watch the weather yourselves if a storm is headed your direction walk out no matter what your boss says. If 20 people walked out of that factory what's the harm to them? They stayed alive plus no one will be going back to work at all anyway the building is gone! Huh?

Sharla, is the Jamie you are talking about, Jamie Smith? I have been trying to reach him since Saturday morning, with no luck. If so, please let me know if he survived, and if so, how he is doing. Glad you made it out, and best wishes to you. Mark

Was this a metal building? They should be outlawed.

Profits over people = capitalism. Let this be a lesson to future employers when severe inclement weather is imminent. The president and CEO are going to be nice, cozy, and alright.

Wow washington post reporting on this.

I see a huge lawsuit coming

But whom let the workers in the factory while was a tornadoes or hurricanes or bad weather conditions ? Mis condolencias a las familias que perdieron a su familiar. RIP

Feel sorry to hear this and May Allah ( God) recover them and ease their situation. Amen

🌸🌸🌸ITS OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY🌸🌸🌸 please don't be afraid to reach out for help! There IS people who care even if you can't see them💛 mental health is just as important as physical!! You can be traumatised from experiencing something like that and it's best to get help so it doesn't settle in and become worse over time 💐💐

I'm so sorry. In my mind, my arms are around all of you.

Don’t hurry,take your time getting back. It was a horrible thing,that’s gonna take a lot of processing. Reset,so every little thing you do,brings lifts you up.rather than the comparison to what was. Look at people’s hearts,and build on what’s there for you now.

How *tasteless* to play these people's cries of pain and fear.
