NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, Va. -- A severe storm caught a Northern Neck community by surprise Monday afternoon as a tornado tore through parts of Northumberland County without any weather service warnings.
âIt was the scariest thing in the world to me," Henry Horn said. Horn recalled the scary moments from Monday afternoon.
He witnessed the funnel cloud rip through fields and into the path of homes, just yards from his front door.
âIf it wouldnât have turned, I wouldnât have no house here today," Horn said. âCouldnât sleep last night, didnât sleep last night because of this. This is the first time Iâve seen something like this."
