Preliminary reports suggest the strongest tornado was down for 2 hours, in which it travelled 62 miles,and passed through downtown Canton, Fruitvale and Emory, causing extensive damage, and even reducing some buildings to bare foundations in the process. RIP to the 8 people who have so far been confirmed dead, and thoughts to the injured and affected from this horrific disaster.
