“This is my parents that got caught in this,” he was quoted in the report. “There is no shelter or protection on this road. It’s in the middle of nowhere.”
He added: “They were trying to get home from work. They were not looking for tornadoes. No cell phone service and they could not hear the radio. They never got a warning.”
The woman said they came to know about possible tornadoes but her sister could not contact them as there was no cellphone service.
“We just know that with God’s guidance he kept us focused and kept us safe,” she said. “We are blessed that only the back glass is shattered. This will be a story for us to tell our future grandchildren.”
