Dozens of families are homeless across two counties south of Augusta.

Emergency workers say it looks like at least four tornados touched down in parts of our area.

"There aint no words to describe it, you work so hard all your life, and in two to threeminutes it's gone," said Tramenkia Branch.

She huddled inside with her two kids as the storm picked up her Jenkins County home and tossed it dozens of feet -- crushing the trailer and everything in it's path. It threw her husband over another building and hundreds of feet into a field.

They all walked away.

"Without that man up there, we'd be done," she said.

Across town, members of the Oak Hill Baptist Church were thanking God as they started to repair their sanctuary.

"The church is not the building, the church is God's children," said Pastor Jamie Archer.

Another church was devastated miles away, but pastor Mike Dann shared a familiar verse.

"We have significant damage," he said. "But the membership is in good shape."

Faith goes a long way, but for Retha Moore there's little comfort in losing her home of more than 50 years.

"It doesn't make me feel good at all, it hurts, it hurts," she said.

The storm's victims -- thankful for their lives, but devastated by their losses.

"I wouldn't want that on my worst enemy," Branch said. "I wouldn't."

The EMA Director in Jenkins County says between 30 and 50 structures were damaged in the storm.

Leaders have set up an emergency shelter in the senior citizen's center in Millen.
