In Cleburne County the storm destroyed two homes, injured three and killed one man. The people there thought the storm would pass them up, but now they're dealing with devastating reminders that it didn't.
The only reminders are mashed cars and personal items like clothing and pictures. A tornado hit Cleburne County ripping the house a part. The force blew 75 year old Ivajean Baldridge, her husband 79 year old husband Jasper Baldridge and their grandson Blake out of the house.
"They were all talking but they were hurt really bad," says Cleburne County Sheriff Marty Moss.
Jasper Baldridge later died, his wife and grandson suffered severe injuries.
"It's going to be tough on my cousins, the children of my aunt and uncle, we just got to pick up the pieces," says Tim New.
Just a few feet away from the house is a storm cellar, it's believed the family didn't know the severity of the storm and decided to ride it out in the house.
"These folks that live here have seen a lot of storms in their lives and they're the kind of people that take shelter when they're in a storm from what we saw this caught them totally of guard," says Sheriff Moss.
The storm also destroyed a mobile home on the property. While this scene is surreal to New, he's learned something from it, "I will never hesitate to seek shelter no procrastinations."
A lesson he hopes you don't have to learn at the expense of a loved one. Another man was injured when the high wind blew his truck off of highway 107.
Sheriff Moss says the tornado sirens did go off but for some it just wasn't enough advanced warning for them to seek shelter.
