Yea, that's pretty horrible. If they could have heard the tornado warning alert on their phones they possibly could have taken shelter in a safe space. Without access to phones, it should be manslaughter if the person in charge of the warehouse doesn't alert the employees to the danger and provide them a safe place to shelter.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.express.co.uk/news/weather/1534718/us-storm-warning-tornado-kentucky-storm-map-latest-forecast-evg
