i've never seen anything like this tornado, dana pruitt's house used to be across the street, in 30 secondsto myself: dana, if you were there, you wouldn't be here. more than once in my life. when i was 15 years old , the day before easter, my home was destroyed by a tornado in eastern iowa. it turns out i survived two tornadoes. the wind destroyed houses, swept away cars and trees, sending debris 6 miles into the air. zigcha says one of his daughters was home alone when the tornado hit. she survived because she hid in the basement. i don't know how we would live without her. all the rest can be replaced. including his twenty-year-old house, these things are all yours, i don't think any of this is mine, there's a refrigerator here from somewhere in the house, your refrigerator over there. at least eighteen tornadoes were reported across the state, including this one near nevada city. the traffic camera caught the moment when the tornado rushed along the highway, overturning a truck. we've covered many disasters, but that doesn't make it any easier. what we see here looks like a real shock.
