NASHVILLE, Tenn. - "Debris, devastation," says Terry Ashburn, relative of a homeowner who had a tree go directly through the middle of her mobile home. "It's a miracle anyone survived this."
Deadly storms batter the Midstate, packing winds of over 100mph.
"I prayed," says one Cottontown resident Ashley Lynn Merritt. "I'm a God-fearing person."
"Very lucky that we're all still alive and here today still," says Michael McGregor, fiance of one storm victim.
"It was pretty rough," says Cottontown resident Scott Cherry. "It was the roughest I'd ever seen it."
