Shanika Washington of Clarksville said that after hearing warning sirens, she took her children, aged 5 and 10, to the basement of her building, according to the Associated Press.

“The lights were flickering, so I knew it was somewhere close in the vicinity. I just kept praying to God as it was going on. It was very terrifying and scary,” she stated.

“The back door absolutely did fly open, and you just heard a bunch of wind.”

“The blinds and stuff were like shaking really bad. I could tell that we were dead smack in the middle of a storm.”

She said when she emerged, cars and homes were damaged; grills were thrown about and roofs were missing.
