He also said that there are 109 Kentuckians reported as unaccounted for but expects that number to rise.
The Department for Aging and Independent Living reported that the Graves County Senior Center and Western Kentucky Allied Services Building had been damaged so extensively that there is no way for them to prepare meals.

Kentucky State Police are still requesting all Mayfield Consumer Products candle factory employees go to his House Ministries Church at 1250 KY-303 in Mayfield, so they can verify that all potential victims are accounted for. Additionally, MCP employees may call the employee support line at 888-880-8620 for transportation.
