Tornado in Guntown. This was right before a large shingle came busting through our front window. We have roof, ceiling, and attic damage. Our privacy fence is gone. Debris and a huge mess everywhere. Thankful we are safe! @WTVAWeather @matt_laubhan @JoelYoungTV @wtva9news pic.twitter.com/wI3NrfuqjV
