VIDEO: It's been eight months since a deadly tornado went through Mayfield, Kentucky.
“We were watching the news for a bit and it said it would be catastrophic. Life changing. I really thought we would have this little tornado. Like a little EF 1 like I’ve seen before." said Danielle Ford.
“They were tracking it for us and I could hear in their voice this is not the same as before.” said Mayfield Mayor Kathy O'Nan.
O’Nan took shelter in her home, a half-mile from the candle factory.
“I heard it. I just kept waiting to hear broken glass and tree limbs hitting. Well I thought, foolishly, well maybe it just picked up and went over our downtown but it wasn’t but 2 minutes before the fire chief called saying, it’s bad. It's bad." said O'Nan.
Danielle Ford lives in Mayfield where she and her sons worked at the candle factory.
