The death toll is expected to rise significantly, Kentucky's governor said.
Search and rescue crews are continuing to locate victims of the devastating tornados that ripped through hundreds of miles across multiple states this weekend.
As many as 70 people are believed to have been killed in western Kentucky, and the death toll could exceed 100, but those numbers could also rise "significantly," Gov. Andy Beshear announced Sunday.
"Dozens" were killed at a candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, that suffered major structural damage and housed dangerous equipment, Beshear said. About 40 people were evacuated, and dozens more remain unaccounted for.
As many as 110 people were working when the tornado hit, and the human resources department has been working through the night to track people down, Troy Propes, CEO of Mayfield Consumer Products, told ABC News Sunday morning.
