The mayor of Mayfield, Kentucky is warning Monday that the town could be without heat, water and electricity for a “long time” as authorities continue to survey tornado damage from Friday.
“This is a tough morning... but it’s ok, we’re still going to be all right,” Mayfield Mayor Kathy Stewart O’Nan said on “CBS Mornings”, according to the Associated Press.
“We lost a water tower, so we have no water within the city limits. All the power was cut just for safety reasons after everything fell,” O'Nan also told NBC’s “Today” show. "And the natural gas has been turned off because of so many leaks. So we have no resources.”
"The resources are gonna take a long time to be restored here,” she added.
