So far, the disaster has killed more than 100 people. On the same day, Peres, a woman working in a factory in Kentucky, was trapped under the ruins. She later recalled that at that time & ldquo; Very painful & rdquo;, His legs were pressed unconscious.
According to the business insider website on December 12, the governor of Kentucky said on the 11th that the tornado in the state caused the roof of the local Mayfield consumer goods factory to collapse and caused & ldquo; Mass casualties & rdquo;. At the time of the disaster, Peres was working in the factory. She told the media what she had in front of her & ldquo; All collapsed & rdquo;.
“ I was suddenly trapped under a pile of rubble;, Peres recalled that at that time, a rescue worker estimated that she was buried under the ruins at least 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) thick. & ldquo; I was injured because my body was trapped in an awkward position. My leg was pressed under the water dispenser and couldn't move, and I felt tingling, and then my leg gradually lost consciousness, which was very uncomfortable and painful. & rdquo;
Peres said that although she was in panic, she still tried to wake up a temporarily unconscious colleague and let him & ldquo; Cheer up & rdquo;. Peres also said in a video on social media that she was & ldquo; Try to be cool & rdquo;, But & ldquo; Actually, I'm scared& rdquo;
As it was her 40th birthday, Peres was not going to go to work, but she still regretted going to the factory.

The tornado not only destroyed the factory buildings, but also destroyed the cars in the nearby parking lot, leaving employees' cars & ldquo; Pile together & rdquo;.
As a single mother with four children, Peres said she needed to make money to support her family. She said that without cars and jobs, Christmas would be a difficult time for many factory workers. The 40 year old woman said she was now & ldquo; A little tired & rdquo;, But I'm glad I'm still alive. (overseas network / Zhang Ni internship compilation / Chen Cang)
