Emergency response workers dig through the rubble of the Mayfield Consumer Products candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, on Saturday. "Then boom, everything fell on us," Parsons-Perez told CNN's Boris Sanchez Saturday morning. The factory had been "going 24/7" in part to meet Christmastime candle demand, US Rep. James Comer, who represents the area, told CNN. Tornadoes tore through parts of the lower Midwest late Friday night, including Mayfield, Kentucky, and its candle factory. The damaged courthouse and other buildings in downtown Mayfield, Kentucky, are seen in this image made with a drone.
