March 2nd, 2012 my small hometown was destroyed by a tornado, got bad weather reports that day but nobody expected or was prepared for what come over that small community. I was at a friends home when heard the sounds of sirens and could see the sky twisting on the deck and ran for cover in the basement where less then a minute later it took the roof off and destroyed most of the home and while sitting in the darkness of the basement not knowing if it was a better idea to go outside incase of the ceiling colapse or staying there incase there was more then one tornado and the two things I wanted more then ever at the time was a flashlight and a radio to get a updated weather report, I would of given the stockpile of food and water in the basement for just a flashlight as later that night we were salvaging valueables from the house before being destroyed and also a nail went threw my foot while walking back closer to the town frequently trying to use my cell phone to call family to see if they were ok just to find out cell phones didn't work and didn't work in the town until weeks later but the night of the the tornado the town really pulled togather helping eachother look for loved ones and helping clean up the road for emeregency vehichles but wasn't until the national guard and outsiders came in that the next mess really started pushing people outside of there town and destroyed homes, arrested a few people trying to get into town that night that were pushing there way in to check on family that they havn't heard from but this is getting too long and probably a terible write up just want my last words to be is ALWAYS be prepared, have a plan a,b,c,d....... expect the unexpected and remember your plans change QUICK in any kind of a disaster and if you dont have extra batteries, flashlights, two way radios and fm radios.. go invest now.
