Live video footage from local broadcaster KFOR showed a restaurant destroyed by the tornado, which also ripped through large sections of a General Motors facility in the area. Fire trucks and rescue vehicles could be seen racing through city streets, and there were several buildings, homes and apartment complexes that were damaged in the tornado, the video footage showed.
The tornado was heading to the east, authorities said.
The broadcaster said at least one person was injured but authorities could not confirm the report. [snip]
