It turns out the storms overnight did cause damage in DeKalb County.
The home of Randy and Cheryl Campbell on Adamson Branch Road near Liberty was hit by a possible tornado just after 1 a.m. causing damage to the residence and a barn and destroying two sheds. The Campbell’s were home at the time but escaped injury.
“My wife was up and she woke me up when we got a cell phone alert about the tornado warning. They had said on TV it was going to hit Green Hill Road at 1:15 a.m.which is right across the road from our house but it hit (our house) at 1:03 a.m. so it was a little ahead of schedule. We had time to take shelter in a closet. My wife and our grandkid got in one closet and I got in another. We could hear the roar and the wind blew a window out in front of our house just as it hit,” said Randy Campbell.
Another barn was destroyed in the same area and a shed was blown down at a residence on Woodbury Highway.
Trees were also reported down and across the road on the Old Snow Hill Road. Power lines were down in some areas.
