RIEGELWOOD, North Carolina (CNN) -- At least eight people were killed and 20
injured Thursday when a tornado ripped through a mobile home park in this
small town west of Wilmington, North Carolina, officials said.
"All of the fatalities were residents in the mobile homes," said Columbus
County Emergency Services spokesman Kip Godwin.
Some of those killed were children, said Columbus County Sheriff Chris
Batten, but he did not have a number.
Five children and two adults from Columbus County were initially taken to
New Hanover Regional Medical Center, said hospital spokeswoman Kendra
Gerlach.
One of the children was treated and released, but the other four -- two
2-year-olds, a 3-year-old and a 9-year-old -- were in critical condition and
transferred Thursday to other hospitals, she said. The two adults were in
stable condition.
Two patients were also being brought in from neighboring Bladen County,
Gerlach said.
An area about half a mile wide and up to a mile long was "demolished,"
Batten told reporters. Some of the bodies were found about 200 yards beyond
the twister's path, he said.
"We don't have any confirmed missing, but we are keeping our options open,"
he said. Search and rescue personnel were combing the area. "We want to
cover every inch of the property."
The first report of the twister touching down came at 6:44 a.m., he said.
The National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for the area at
6:29 a.m. CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said it appeared the tornado "was on
the ground for some time."
However, Batten said, there was no time to warn residents and no sirens were
activated. When the weather service warning was received, he said, "We
alerted our officers."
North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley told reporters earlier that as many as
13,500 homes were without power. Easley activated the state's Emergency
Response Team and dispatched emergency crews to the area.
Some of the 25 to 30 mobile homes in the Old Farm Estate were demolished and
others were torn off their foundations by the high winds, county officials
said. (Watch report from scene of tornado -- 1:46)
Martin Brown, who lives near the mobile home park, said he was watching a
movie when he heard a noise that "sounded like a train was coming."
"I looked out that door; a tornado was coming," he said. "I took off
running."
He said he held on to his refrigerator until it was sucked out of the house,
then crawled under a brick wall that had collapsed onto a table -- all the
time thinking "that was it."
Brown's home sustained heavy damage. Asked what his plans are now, he said,
"Gotta live on. Gotta get another home."
Hours after the strong storm had passed, some 200 emergency personnel were
on the scene. Crews used bulldozer-type equipment and dogs to search under
debris for people who had been reported missing, emergency services
officials said.
Bob High, a reporter for the News Reporter newspaper, said four bodies were
found in woods adjacent to the neighborhood.
"[The mobile homes] were obliterated. Some exploded, some were moved off
their foundations," High said.
One couple was thrown from their home into a neighbor's yard by the strong
wind, he said.
"We've been through hurricanes but never had this many people killed at one
time," he said. (Watch houses crushed by trees as storm went through

Twister splits homes
Video footage from the scene showed many homes reduced to rubble, and others
with their roofs torn off and walls collapsed.
Kelly O'Hara, a reporter for WECT, said the site looked like a debris field.
"Power lines are down, trees snapped, homes picked up and moved, two-story
brick homes split in half," she said.
The homes that crews had already gone through were marked with an "X" in
spray paint to show that no one was inside, she added.
Authorities blocked off roads leading to the site of the destruction,
according to residents.
A man who answered the phone at a gas station on Highway 87 said the twister
"just took a swath right out of that trailer park, right down the middle of
it."
The same storm system tore through other Southern states on Wednesday. (Full

Two children suffered minor injuries when the building collapsed, according

Police said four adults and 31 children were inside FunZone, which housed a
skating rink, a daycare and play areas for kids
