Louisville Emergency Management Director EJ Meiman discusses response operations near the Mayfield Consumer Products factory that was destroyed by a tornado late Friday.

At least 80 people have died in the state, including dozens in a candle factory, and the death toll is expected to rise above 100 after it was hit by tornadoes - including one locals believe maybe one of the widest ever seen.

Six US states were devastated by powerful tornadoes that have left at least 94 people dead - with Kentucky worst hit.
