21 year-old Tyler Casey, a volunteer Seneca area firefighter, was called out to go storm spotting with other firefighters in Newton County on Saturday evening.
Casey was spotting near the intersection of Highway 43 and Iris Road. Some spotters say Casey may have been the first spotter in Newton County to see, and relay, his report of a large tornado headed east-southeast.
At this point, the tornado was an EF-4 tornado.
He then left his vehicle and began knocking on doors and alerting families living in the area.
