00:00We heard a whistle, like a whistling noise coming through and he's like, it's coming.
00:09And so we jumped up, ran into the room and like I said, I just made it in there and that's
00:15when it came through and it was here.
00:18And all I heard was tack, tack on the window and I drug her to the sewing room, craft room
00:24right in the center of the house and I just got over here and hugged her and we were in
00:28the tornado.
00:29We were just going.
00:31Glass was flying and debris was flying all over our heads and it was, yeah.
00:38About 30, 40 seconds, gone.
00:43And I looked out and I'm like, the neighbor's motorcycle's in the front room.
00:48And then we, there's a little tiny room that's right in the middle of all that and that's
00:54where we was, in a room probably the size of, I don't know, probably five feet by four
01:01feet room was where we was at when it came through.
01:04So when they say literally go in the center most.
01:08Center, and that's where we went.
