\u201cSomething caught my eye and I said \u2018We\u2019re not gonna make it to the basement, everybody get in between a door frame and get down,\u2019\u201d Roberts said. \u201cAs soon as we had the kids and we went down. It happened that quick.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neighbors and family members told WYMT that two people from the apartment complex died.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouses are just gone,\u201d Hammons said. \u201cHalf of the airport, just gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hammons said he spent all of his Saturday cutting through downed trees with chainsaws, looking to see if there are any victims or survivors in the rubble.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere ain\u2019t no words for it,\u201d Hammons said. \u201cIt\u2019s like a warzone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volunteers were all over London on Saturday, with folks giving out food and water and cleaning up debris.<\/p>\n
Roberts said he is grateful to have made it through the disaster. He said he may have lost everything, but not his life. \u201cBy the grace of God, we survived it,\u201d Roberts said.<\/p>\n
