'Everything's gone ... Even the cows in the pasture,' witness says in wake of likely tornado

The death toll from a storm system that spawned several possible tornadoes as it slammed the Southeast has risen to at least five, officials said Thursday as search crews went out to look for more victims and survivors.
Officials in central North Carolina said a death in Davidson County was weather-related. However, Emergency Services director Jeff Smith did not have any other details early Thursday.
Suspected tornadoes were reported Wednesday in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina.
Dozens of homes and buildings were damaged and thousands of people were without power as trees and power lines were downed.
In South Carolina, three people were killed and five injured when a likely tornado swept through a rural community near Rock Hill, about 20 miles south of Charlotte, N.C.

We were spared. All we had was some heavy rain. Let us pray for those who were not spared just one week before Thanksgiving...

I didn't even know there were storms until I saw the news. Slept right through them. Tornadoes did quite a bit of damage just a few miles away from us and the power is still out some places around here.
