Tuesday, May 05, 2009 6:39 PM Tornado damages communities From Staff Reports Wilson County officials are saying that a tornado that touched down in the Sadie Road and Rock Ridge School Road area damaged between eight to 10 homes, including two that had their roofs blown off. Alan Parnell, operations officer for Wilson County Emergency Medical Services, said the tornado was produced by the strong storms that moved through the area between 4:30 and 5 p.m. Parnell said the worst damage in the area is along Sadie Road and that there was no other damage in the county. One person was injured during the storm. He initially refused care for a leg injury but later went to Wilson Medical Center for treatment, Parnell said. Tonight, crews are working to clear houses, and the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office is letting residents go back home to get their possessions. The Red Cross of Wilson and Greene counties has established a shelter at Rock Ridge Elementary School, and many people have gathered there to find out news. Several roads have been closed including Rock Ridge School Road, Rock Ridge Sims Road, Fulghum Road, Sadie Road and Leonard Road, and officials are asking people to stay away from the area unless they live there. |
