Stumble It!We spoke to the nephew of one of the victims. She is listed in satisfactory condition at the Medical Center. "I'm shocked," Alvin Peterson said when he saw what was left of his aunt's trailer. "It's all gone," he said.
We also spoke to buddies Jeremy Redden and John Mott. The Cottonton residents say they were watching Nascar when the storm hit. "It was a perfect funnel", said Mott. Redden said he looked outside and said, "that right there looks strange."
