The apparent tornado caused significant damage near Centreville, where Richard Hill surveyed the remains of his son's mobile home Thursday evening. A large tree fell across the home, Hill said, and other mobile homes nearby were destroyed.
Hill's son initially tried to wait the severe weather out, until a family member convinced him to seek shelter elsewhere shortly before the apparent tornado hit.
"They lost everything," Hill said.
Derrick Colburn weathered the storm inside his Bibb County home, which was damaged.
