QUOTES FROM SAID ARTICLE:

"CAMILLA, Ga. - Tornadoes that one official likened to "a big lawnmower"
swept across two counties in southwestern Georgia before dawn Thursday,
killing six people and injuring more than 200. One of the hardest-hit areas
had been flattened by another tornado less than 3 1/2 years ago.

Funnel clouds formed between 5:30 and 6 a.m., and there were one or two
fully formed tornadoes, said meteorologist Paul Duval of the National
Weather Service.

In Worth County, the tornado cut a streak about 10 miles long and up to 300
yards wide, Tompkins said. "
