The National Weather Service in Morristown confirmed Wednesday an EF1 tornado occurred the day before in Monroe County.The twister touched down near Gamble Gap Road in Tellico Plains, downing trees in every direction, pulling down power lines and creating a mess for people to clean up today. One resident recalled darkness fell quickly before the hit, then it grew quiet, and then it "just like a boom." It’s not the first time the Monroe County community has seen such destruction.
Felecia Bookout remembers a strike in 2011. She lost her home in that one.
