Many amazing stories of peoples struggle to live came out from the tornado like…..
According to CNN-
Tonya Williams, 38, said she still felt in shock after surviving the tornado, as so many did, by taking shelter in a closet. She put bicycle helmets on her 8-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son, collected her three dogs and pushed them all into a hall closet.
"We prayed. I could feel pressure, and being sucked. I put my body over them to try to protect them," Williams said.
When neighbors dug them out, the roof and upper story of the house had collapsed into and around the closet. Williams and her children suffered only minor injuries.
A large wooden cross that had been hanging on an upstairs wall was found on top of them, she said.
"If you weren't a religious person before, you are now," Williams said. "No word can describe it but a miracle."
