I've never seen a tornado but David was telling us when they were leaving Indiana and were in that area they drove right into a tornado,? He pulled the van underneath a bridge tunnel or something like that and said trees, house parts were flying all over the place.? It scared me to death thinking that van could have been swooshed away and all of them dead.? Thy arrived in Vancouver safe and with many prayers on my part.

We had a cellar that was dug down in the ground, dirt walls & floor, we had a lantern for light, my dad was scared to death of those storms, was always on the lookout for clouds, and it seemed sometimes like we spent half of our lives running back and forth between the house, and the storm cellar..
