Renee Newbury looked outside around noon Thursday to the horrifying sight of a tornado taking aim at her western Lauderdale County home.
She talked later about fearing that she and her son, David, were going to be killed.
"It was scary," Newbury said. "I saw it coming across the field. It was just spinning in a circle.
"It started out just as a small funnel and as soon as it hit the ground it was like it exploded. All of the sudden, it was huge and it was coming right at us. Then just before it got to our house, it turned and hit (my father-in-law's) house."
The twister left a six-mile path of destruction from near the Oakland community to Central Heights in Lauderdale County.
