Survivors of the tornado which ripped through Kentucky have described their town as a "warzone".

"I heard it go through. It was awful. I've never been through anything like that in my life, said Tamra Yekinni, an employee of a candle factory who was not working that night .

Adding, "the rubble I went through was like, I don't know how, to me it was like a war zone or something. It was awful. It was so awful."

Autumn Kirks, an employee at a nearby general store said "the whole building was just gone, in shambles,".

Several towns and counties in Western Kentucky continue to dig out of the rubble of buildings, homes, churches and businesses.

"There's people screaming, people trying to climb out, people who are crushed."
