My neighbors' trailer's gone, all them dead. It's horrible, I never meant to know anything like this, man.
Lost your neighbors. All of them.
It's a scene of utter destruction here. Houses have been yanked to shreds, just ripped apart.
This is the worst natural disaster we've ever had in our history.

At least seven people died in the wrath of a severe storm system that swept our state.

Sky 5 got the first look at the remnants of homes and lives ripped apart by the winds.
At a short time ago, Brian Mimms got a look on the ground. He begins our team coverage of this tragedy live in Columbus County. Brian?
Well, David, we just left the area where the tornado initially touched down. It's a mobile home park in a community called Armour.
