NOW, THIS HOUSE IS IN THE WAY OF THAT TORNADO THAT NICK SMITH HAD THAT VIDEO ON JUST EARLIER TODAY. THERE’S A BUNCH OF PEOPLE OUT HERE LOOKING AT THIS DAMAGE. THE FIRE ALARMS ARE GOING OFF AND ON THE ROAD THERE YOU SEE DOWNED POWER LINES, FENCES, TREES AND THERE ARE AT LEAST 40 PEOPLE, 50 PEOPLE HERE HELPING OUT WITH THIS DAMAGE AND SHINING THEIR FLASHLIGHTS ON THE GROUND LOOKING FOR THINGS. AND I TALKED WITH DEPUTIES ON THE SCENE HERE. UH, THERE WAS A LITTLE CONCERN THAT THERE WAS MAYBE SOMEONE MISSING. EVERYBODY’S ACCOUNTED FOR HERE, THOUGH. RIGHT NOW, THEY’RE ACTUALLY LOOKING IN THE FIELDS OVER THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE FLASHLIGHTS THERE SHINING ON THE GROUND, LOOKING AT EVERY LITTLE INCH OVER THERE. THEY’RE REALLY LOOKING FOR LIVESTOCK, TRYING TO ACCOUNT FOR ALL THE LIVESTOCK THAT WERE IN THIS AREA.
