Holmes County was hit by strong storms and a tornado early Sunday morning. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning at 5:29 a.m., and shortly after, radar confirmed a tornado with a debris signature.
“We were under a tornado warning for, I say, maybe 30 minutes,” said Bonifay Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Sierra Smith.
“You know, there wasn’t any damage except two power lines and trees were down,” said Holmes County Sheriff John Tate.
Tate says the tornado may not have caused significant damage, but he still recommends that citizens stay informed and know how to be prepared the next time a tornado strikes Holmes County.
During the storm, lightning struck near a shed off Highway 177, causing it to catch fire.
“Were able to put out the fire very quickly and salvage some utility vehicles that were located inside of that storage shed,” Smith said.
Esto Fire Department, Holmes County Sheriff’s Office, and Holmes County EMS were on the scene to assist.
Smith says she believes the shed was not a total loss and is still salvageable. Smith says no one was injured during the structure fire.
