Columbia Mayor Chaz Molder said in a statement that one person died in the storms that hit near the community of around 41,000.
“The city of Columbia did appear to avoid the worst of the storm in the city limits but very close by was a different story,” he wrote on social media.
Maury Regional Health said it had received five patients, including the person who died. One of the injured was in serious condition and three suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, the hospital in Columbia said.
