Tornadoes sweep thru' Tennessee: 11 killed
While families of Sunday's tornado victims in the western counties of Dyer and Gibson planned funerals for this weekend, many residents of Sumner County began picking through newly flattened homes and mangled cars.
Talmadge Woodall, 81, described the twister that destroyed his house Friday afternoon as "rolling, throwing debris hundreds of feet in the air." He lived in an upscale subdivision of Gallatin, about 24 miles northeast of Nashville, where three bodies were found.
"These were at least half-million-dollar homes or better," he said. "Now there's nothing left. I didn't even have a shingle off my house."
