cell phone video shows the chilling seconds as an EF3 tornado ripped
through Columbia, Mississippi, Tuesday, Dec. 23.
The video comes from William Bozeman’s cell phone. He was at work when the storm unfolded.
“It happened so fast, I really didn’t have time to do anything,” he told The Weather Channel.
He started recording, but then a few seconds later, realized he had to take cover. He fell, accidentally dropping the phone on the way.
“Whenever I fell, the phone was gone,” he said. “They found it in the woods behind the shop. It went flying through the air.”

When you see the video, at first you hear Bozeman excited about the storm. But then the screen goes black. Heavy rain and frightening wind howls for about ten seconds before the sky appears again.
Bozeman said he and his co-workers had to dig their secretary out from under rubble, but she wasn’t badly injured; He said few people “had to have stitches” and one suffered a broken arm.
At least five people were killed during the Christmas week severe weather.
