Possible tornado damage to a mobile home in Du Quoin on Saturday left one resident trapped in her home for a short time.
The Perry County Emergency Management Agency says the resident was shaken but uninjured and assisted by the Du Quoin Fire and Police Departments.

Authorities say witnesses heard what was described as a freight train and witnessed debris aloft on the North East side of town Saturday.

The displaced person in the mobile home has been put in a local motel until they can relocate.
