Whoever threatened workers if they wanted to leave should be thrown in prison. Also, that tornado seriously looked like an EF5 to me.

@107drones Год назад

I'm glad you returned, Ken. We all need to understand how a devastating tornado can have such a long-term affect on a community. Mayfield Strong.

@jdnell Год назад

A very moving video, Ken. Thanks for producing and sharing it with us. My heart goes out to those in Mayfield KY, and the surrounding communities, for the determination and tenacity to rebuild their communities. It was a terrible tornado. Your video serves as a place marker in history for the area.

@Andyrewk Год назад

Thank you for this Ken❤❤❤

@RonaldBrown59 Год назад

My heart goes out for those people, I remember when this happened. Thanks for following up this tragic event with such a moving video documenting the damage Mayfield sustained, but also how the people stayed the course and have started rebuilding their town. Great drone footage, excellent narration and good edit. Thanks for sharing Ken.

I am Kentuckian and I am deeply sorry for everyone's losses in Mayfield Stay strong Mayfield!🙏

@garycummings1706 Год назад

Thanks Ken, stayed there one week prior to the tornado. Our gracious hosts on the outskirts were some of the fortunate.

@up-close Год назад

That order not to leave, while it killed 8 people, is probably the decision which saved many lives. If these people did go home, they most definitely would not have been alive.

@roybell15 4 месяца назад

You are absolutely correct while some of them did live very very close to the factory a good number of the workers or from the surrounding counties that were hired in through out of town, temp agencies and these people I will say a good 60% had at least a 30 minute drive to the residence if they would have left on that last break between tornado warnings, they most definitely would have been on the road in the middle of the dark and if you are not from this area, close your eyes and pictured driving through the woods on a skinny back road, and then running into a monster EFI tornado with nowhere to take shelter, but the woodsis not your town. You cannot just get out and run to someone’s house to take cover. There are areas where there are several miles and miles and with nowhere to take shelter. Now had the candle factory let all of their employees go at Freehill. They would still be on the hook for the people that were killed so either way the candle factory was going to have to take the wrap.

Very moving Memorial Video. Appreciate your efforts and sharing this video.

Thank you very much.

@Craigs_Adventures Год назад

Great Video Ken. I had forgotten about that tornado. Its great to see the people of the town getting their lives back put the town back together.

@bobsterit Год назад

Ken, This was such a great vid. I was born in Mayfield and even though I moved away years ago My heart goes out to the people who still live there.

@MarkSuttonPhotograph Год назад

I went from Henderson the day after to see and document it with my camera. I was forever changed by what I saw. It is one thing to watch the programs and see the videos of damage left behind but to walk through and see and smell and experience it is another. As soon as I found a place to park and started walking through the town I was overcome and just started weeping for these people. I will never forget that day. I saw people joining together and helping each other. God Bless each and everyone of all that were affected by those storms.

@theshowbloxyt-rh7eb Год назад

The courthouse loss is especially heartbreaking-the lost of such a beautiful building and an important piece of history.

@glitchyentity2117 Год назад

Hello from Russell Springs KY. I remember this day vividly. Such a sad day for Kentucky.

@CopperStateAerialPhotography Год назад

Beautiful tribute to those who lost everything!!

@jameshyatte7230 Год назад

That was a tough day and tough weeks there after and even today for some. Well done Ken.

@budcmour Год назад

Great update. Thanks for sharing, Ken. A local church here in Michigan partnered with Help Build Hope Missions and built 57 walls for a 4 bdrm home to be assembled onsite in Kentucky by Habitat for Humanity. Just some of the volunteer work that's being done to help the tornado victims.

@Andyrewk Год назад

This is my home area, such a sad story.

@pm5206 5 месяцев назад

I visited Mayfield on the 9th of April, 2024. Surreal. Absolutely cruel looking and much of downtown remains abandoned.

@roybell15 4 месяца назад

It really hurts to see this because I have so many fond memories in my childhood inside the town of Mayfield and all the fun I had with friends and family that are no longer on this earth with us. Some of the things that were destroyed in that tornado are places I would go to be with the people I can no longer physically be with, and then places are gone too

@LWM_modelling Год назад

as you know i reported on this tragic event a couple of times and researching those reports was a truly humbling experience not just the stories of those that lived the experience but also the accounts of the first responders and the many many people that went out of their way to chip in when all must have seemed lost. More so it was the stories of what happened next that really provided a spiritual uplift the stories of all the help, support and guidance that Kentucky demonstrated as it came together to help the affected. its fantastic to see that only one year on the strides to rebuild not only the physical structures torn apart that day but also the community that had its heart literally blown away rebuild, restock, and renew

@PMcDFPV Год назад

What a beautiful tribute to the battle they have had to face over this last year rebuilding and the progress they are making. There was a tornado in Plainfield Illinois in 1990, I was 8 years old and went to help clean up, I still to this day remember the devistation that caused and how hard it was on the community. Mayfield you are in our thoughts !!!!

@conqururfear2 Год назад

I remember the Ted 1990 tornado

@muffs55mercury61 Год назад

Plainfield was bad. That tornado was profiled on the series Storm Stories.

@PanDownTiltLeft Год назад

Outstanding work Ken. Bravo!

@BobCaseyAerial Год назад

Glad you did this Ken i wanted to do a 1yr later. 12 ppl lost their lives in Bremen in Muhlenberg County. Thanks Ken #Like100

@jcmilleker5449 Год назад

Sad, thanks for sharing Ken.

@tammymckinney4393 6 месяцев назад

You should annually come back to our home town. Progress is still being made. We were hit directly as well and Samaritan Purse is building homes here and a few already given out (including my family)!

@FlashyPhotovideo Год назад

What up Ken. Great stuff, love this history style of video.

@carlodefilippi6914 Год назад

Best wishes to all the people involved, as for the victims : may them rejoice in heaven. With sincere affection from Italy.

@YellowRoseDrones Год назад

Thanks for putting this together

@RCshowmen Год назад

These stories are going to increase in number and in severity in the coming years. We should be building primarily below ground level with less above ground structure.

@boogitybear2283 Год назад

Poor Mayfield. I feel as much sorrow for Mayfield like I did Waveland, MS from Hurricane Katrina.

@Just_Klaas Год назад

Love the way you bring history in a good video about a sad story. Hope for the people, this never happens again.

@stevehermann7317 Год назад

Good job Ken. Hope the town gets back on it's feet again.

@philsmeanderings7991 Год назад

That's nasty. In Australia we get cyclones , remembering 1974 when 3 hit Brisbane city Queensland all at once. There were gum trees torn apart into confetti whilst others flew past down the road. Torrential rain and floods. One thing still amazes me though , why do we continue to build the same old structures with the same inherent flaws ? Stupid as it sounds a dome will hold an air pocket in flood and both wind and water will flow around them. Good story Ken , hope those folks are getting back on their feet.

@backyard3749 7 месяцев назад

...and, the management that would not allow people to leave the factory after warnings and so many then died? That update is needed.

@ericzerkle5214 Год назад

Monticello Indiana can relate. They lost their court house and downtown from the April 3rd 1974 super outbreak.

@udeadinaflash 7 месяцев назад

As both a weather and roller coaster enthusiast, first time I went to Indiana Beach I made sure to check out the memorial for the tornado in downtown - the tornado art piece where its sucking up the clock, with the time stuck at the time it hit the town. I'm surprised someone actually mentioned Monticello in here!

Great footage Ken.

Great video Ken. I rode out Hurricane Ian. If you want to come down to Florida I'll take you around. We can get some epic footage.

@corymjohnson Год назад

Well done video Ken

@michaelfagan2403 Год назад

Great video Ken! It's really kind of sad the rebuild efforts have been drastically hampered by city government and zoning situations. We all knew the DG would be one of the first things rebuilt. I was actually surprised it took as long as it did. It's really kind of sad how the government agencies and politicians swoop in quickly with promises but drag their feet to make anything happen. The only reason things are anywhere close normal at the airport is because of people associated with the airport stepping up to make repairs on their own.

@dizzydeanfpv45 Год назад

This was so devastating 😢 💔 I hope they all get back on their feet! Did you film this area with your drone Ken or did u barrow film?! Great job great vodeo

@KenHeron Год назад

The radio stations transmitter burned down last month. We are at very low power but still on in the city. Back up to full power very soon!

@trixiebella5541 Год назад

Hey Ken thank you for this video. We watched this here in alberta canada and I was really agree about the threat of dismissal from the manager of the candle factory. That's not fair. 8 lives are on that manager and owners books forever.

@kellark Год назад

Yes, that made me angry as well. I sure hope they were held accountable.

@DM-sg3cj Год назад

And a year and half later hasn't anything been done but hauling off the trash ... nothing but a big parking lot, how is that build back better working for you?

@DTwxrisk Год назад

Maybe if the people of Kentucky and the conservative right-wing government of Kentucky use some of the buildback better funds which were passed and are available for so many other states and communities they could build back much faster. But Kentucky and its people and its government are based upon stupid ignorant poor white trash conservatism

If I were the workers I would have left my life isn’t worth for that factory

Those are grain bins. Not silos

@Noperison Год назад

Give it a decade. Probably full recovery at that point

@muffs55mercury61 Год назад

And don't expect any help from the Feds. Just ask anyone from East Palestine, OH. People coming together will get the job done instead.
