Kyanna Parsons-Perez never imagined that her 40th birthday would be spent pinned to the floor of the Mayfield candle factory.
When Kyanna Parsons-Perez was planning her 40th birthday celebrations, she'd never envisioned that it would take place as she lay trapped under the debris of a collapsed candle factory in Kentucky.
Around her, workers were frantic. Kyanna could hear some of them exclaiming "we're going to die" and panicking from the darkened rubble. Eventually, she was rescued relatively unscathed before walking "quite a ways" in the cold rain. She eventually found two friends.Others in the factory were not so fortunate. Of the 110 workers on duty that night, eight were confirmed dead as of Tuesday.
"Everyone was aware of bad weather, but we're all taught, even as children, the first thing we do is don't get in your car," he said. "I believe more lives would have been lost. I know that ten minutes before [the tornado struck] they followed all protocols to get the employees, almost all the employees, to the designated area."
