At a Pleasant Hill mobile home park, with hundreds of residents, a scary scene as the tornado swept right over peoples' homes, they told Local 5 News.

"I've lived here 21 years, and this is, besides derecho that got it good, but not like this," recalled resident Jackie Richman.

Mike Linn, who lives in a mobile home, added, "I thought when I got to the house on the corner I was going to have a heart attack. I was literally scared to see one of our vehicles."

Kids took cover under beds and inside bath tubs, Donna Royse, another resident, told Local 5.

Pleasant Hill resident Mary Kay Buchacker told Local 5 about surviving Friday's storm.

"I was just praying that my house would be okay, and that'd we'd all be okay," she said.

Rescue groups and tree service companies from far and wide joined the ongoing cleanup efforts.

MidAmerican Energy's Kathryn Kunert said that, at the height of the storm, 10,000 customers lost power.
