We were heading home, when we heard the tornado warning on the radio. We looked at the sky and it was eerie looking composed of of yellow and green colors. Than we spotted a tornado! It was getting bigger and bigger coming straight toward us.

My younger brother yelled: “It’s coming right towards us. We need to get to the ditch -- NOW!”

My mom wanted to stay in the truck, because she just got her hair done. Plus it was raining cats and dogs.

I said : “Mom, we don’t have a choice , we need to get out of the truck and get in the ditch”.

I'll never forget the scared face of my mom as her truck was blown through the air like leaf. 

After getting out of the ditch we tried to help another lady to get out of her car She was not as lucky as we were. Reluctant to leave her car she was badly injured. You never know when or where you will be in the path of a tornadic storm.
