Residents say they heard the sounds of the tornado just after midnight and braced themselves.

Vernice Cusick took cover in his cellar.

“I can’t really explain. Terror,” he said. “I just thank God that I’ve got my house. I look around me and some people were not quite as fortunate.”

Crews are working to restore power to the residents there.
