Jim Douglas, a father of two, was one of the more than 100 workers who were inside a candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, when a deadly slew of tornadoes ripped across the region Friday.
Douglas said he was trapped under rubble for four hours after the roof of the factory caved in.
“The roof lifted up and I was right next to a wall and it's like the roof slammed down and then the wall came down on top of me,” he told World News Tonight anchor David Muir. “You couldn't see nothing because of the dust and stuff, and then you just hear people just screaming out for help and terrorized.
Douglas was buried under 15 to 20 feet of debris. He said that everything but one of his arms was pinned to the heap and that it quickly became difficult to breathe.
