This is twister the movie stuff! Cars, trucks and hopefully no cows tossed like feathers...

I think the most miraculous story I heard while being in London KY was from an elderly man. We both stood next to each other, not saying a word, just taking in the scene and processing it. After a couple minutes of silence he says “ it’s astonishing that that used to be my home” as we look down at a red car on top of what used to be part of his home. I said “with all due respect sir, how are you alive?” What he would go on to tell me was nothing short of a miracle. He explained to me that him and his wife woke up to the tornado sirens and realized they had no time to drive to safety. So they simply sat at the kitchen table and held hands saying goodbye and that they loved each other. He proceeded to tell me how at first he could hear debris falling from the sky and hitting the roof. Then a loud roar, followed by each and every wall crumbling and being stripped away from them. Nothing was left standing except for one single thing. The table they both sat at. “It’s truly the work of God as to why I can sit here and talk to you” he finished with. If this isn’t a story about the wonders of tornadoes I don’t know what is. I wish I got the man’s name and phone number, but in the off chance he sees this. You sir gave me a story that will stick with me forever. Thank you for sharing your story.
