As you all know, the beautiful state of Oklahoma is situated around some of the most volatile weather known to man.  It was a pleasant Monday afternoon when the sound of the sirens gave us that dreadful warning!  We all new this meant that a tornado had already been spotted and to take refuge in a shelter quick!

Even though we had done this quite a few times before, one’s fear of these dreadful storms never goes away.  This time as we all sat huddled together in our shelter, we could hear the unforgettable sound of those freight train like winds getting closer and closer.  The entry door to our underground shelter began to shake with such force, I thought it would be sucked away at any moment into the darkness outside.

Almost as soon as the tornado came over our shelter, it was gone just as fast leaving us frightened and shell shocked.  If it hadn’t been for the mortise lock on the shelters door, we probably would have been seriously hurt or killed.  We all thanked God and modern technology for our safety and were just happy to be alive!
