Hundreds of people are still picking up the pieces after several storms swept through several states Friday night.
One of those areas that saw the largest death toll was in southern Kentucky. The storm came through Mayfield late Friday night causing a candle factory to collapse with 110 people inside.
The next day, only 40 people had been rescued from the rubble.
Deaths were reported in other surrounding states as well, but Kentucky was hit the hardest. The state reports over 70 deaths so far.
In Arkansas, News 9's Augusta McDonnell spoke with Karla Marroquin, whose home was destroyed by the tornado.
"The wind picked up and all the adults, my mom, my dad, me, my friend and her husband. We all looked up, looked at each other, and at the same time we all said, that's the tornado."
They walked out alive, but in a scene of destruction.
