At this time we can confirm that three people are deceased, two adults and one child as a result of the tornado that touched down this afternoon. Additionally, 23 people have been treated at the hospital.

Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden said, "This is a sad day for our community. We are praying for those who are injured, lost loved ones, and lost their homes."
