A local Kentucky hospital treating victims of Friday's deadly tornadoes says most of its victims have come in with chemical burns, long-bone injuries, and other crush injuries.

The town of Paducah, where the injuries were reported, according to CNN, is located 27 miles outside of the state's hardest-hit community of Mayfield, which saw 110 people trapped inside a candle factory that was hit by a tornado. Emergency personnel spent most of Saturday working to rescue the survivors. Twenty-two people have been confirmed dead in Kentucky, according to the Associated Press, but Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said the number is "certainly" above 70 and will likely pass 100 before the day is through.

Among the 22 dead in Kentucky are children, according to a coroner in Warren County, Kentucky. Coroner Kevin Kirby said the tornado damage was the worst he had ever seen. Even a tornado in 1975 did not leave an amount of damage comparable to that sustained Friday and Saturday, Kirby said.

Though the total number of fatalities is unknown, six in Illinois have been confirmed dead, according to Fox News, with four deaths reported in Tennessee, two in Arkansas, and two in Missouri, including one child. A nursing home facility and a Dollar General were among those hit hardest in Arkansas, which saw five seriously injured and two dead. An Amazon warehouse in Illinois was also hit with 50 trapped inside, six are dead. Two others injured in Illinois were evacuated to a hospital by a helicopter. No update has been given on the status of those injured.
