The city of Mayfield has been left in shambles after a tornado Friday night. Mayfield reported having no running water, natural gas or wastewater management.
The mayor of Mayfield, Kentucky, warned that residents in the city will likely be without heat, water and electricity for a long time after Friday night's deadly tornado destroyed the city's infrastructure.
"Our infrastructure is so damaged. We have no running water. Our water tower was lost. Our wastewater management was lost, and there's no natural gas to the city. So we have nothing to rely on there," Mayfield Mayor Kathy Steward O'Nan toldAccording to poweroutage.us, an estimated 26,000 people are without power in the state. Roughly 60 percent of those were in Graves County where Mayfield is located. It is unknown when utilities will be restored to the community.
Initially, as many as 70 people were feared dead in the candle factory, but the company said Sunday that eight deaths were confirmed and eight remained missing, while more than 90 others had been located.
