Late Tuesday night, the National Weather Service issued a warning for Lewis County, Kentucky, after witnesses say a tornado touched down in the Tollesboro area.

The storm damaged homes and buildings. It was so strong that some mobile homes were knocked from their foundations.

One man and his son just moved to the area, and he says it was a pretty frightening experience.

"At first there was just a lot of lightning and thunder, and we started hearing whistling, and it just got louder and louder, and all hell started breaking loose," said Billy Burchfield.

The National Weather Service is expected to take readings Wednesday to confirm whether or not a tornado touched down.
