TV was on and listen to the forecasters warning "from the impending storm disastrous, when Greg Tomlyanobich heard a short burst from the roar of the tornado siren after midnight. Then silence. Then the roar. 52-year-old quickly grabbed his wife and grandson, besieging them in the basement as emergency debris swirling around the head of its mobile home park northwest of Oklahoma. They lived in about 20 people, before a tornado - among more than 100 countries swept the abdomen at the weekend - with a bang on the floor above, tearing their house foundations. "It scared the hell out of me," said Tomlyanobich. The storm killed five people and injured more than two dozen in the Woodward, a town about 140 miles northwest of Oklahoma City, but it was a tornado that caused the death only. Many of the victims shot by isolated damage in rural areas of Kansas, and if the communities in Iowa and Kansas affected residents and officials attribute days emergency warnings, forecasts, and to save lives. When Tomlyanobich out of the underground shelter after the storm subsided, he saw the traces of destruction went: home insulation, siding and wood was cracked where once stood the house, the trees are leafless, clothing and metal volatile suspended members. "It just makes you a stomach ache. Just look at the corruption of steel," he said Sunday, indicating that turned out to be a part of the giant twisted steel, which landed in the middle of a mobile home park, which is surrounded by rural land dotted with oil-field equipment. Storms are part of the system, which is extremely strong storm prediction center in Norman, Oklahoma who specializes in predicting tornadoes warned for the day. Center has taken the unusual step of warning people away for 24 hours prior to a possible "first-class, life-threatening events." Woodward suffered the worst destruction of the storm, which also fell in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. Bloodied survivors in the town of 12,000 people came out to find the vehicle overturned, broken trailers and shredded power lines. The streets were littered with distorted left vehicles, power lines and toppled buildings laid. Retired firefighter Marty Logan says that he saw the tornado when it hit power lines, resulting in a flash of light, and saw the flashing lights of the radio towers are black. Later, he saw a man get out of the twisted, broken SUV, which was thrown on the roadside. "Man, the blood flowed across the face," said Logan. "It was scary because I knew that after midnight, and many people were in bed." Authorities said that the turn signal of a tornado siren Woodward struck by lightning and tornadoes hit early Sunday morning. Police Chief Harvey Rutherford said that the tower, which was to send a signal to the repetition of a tornado siren was stunned. Given the tornado struck at night, and sirens were damaged, it is remarkable that there were more victims, Rutherford said. "We had the hand of God to take care of us," he said. In a small town west of Thurman, Iowa, a lot of fallen trees along the street in front of the house where the walls and roof are missing soaked holiday. A longtime resident of Stafford, Ted recalled feeling the house shake, and then heard three windows to break, as the storm hit. He was surprised that no one in the city was seriously wounded. "We are all well, fortunately. No one was injured. We can feed this back beans and coffee," 54-year-old said as he stood on the broken concrete that was the basis of their new home basement. Reported tornado in Wichita damaged McConnell Air Force Base and Spirit AeroSystems and Boeing plants in the Saturday evening. Mobile home park was badly damaged in the city of Wichita and the surrounding district was declared a disaster area to preliminary estimates, suggesting that the damage could be $ 283 million. In an interview with CNN, the governor of Kansas, Sam Brownback acknowledged that damage may be much worse, noting that people seem to heed warnings to get to safety. "God was merciful," he said. Yvonne Tucker ran to the shelter about 60 of their neighbors to the mobile home park Pinaire in Wichita. She said that people were crying and screaming, and the light came from the shelter when the tornado struck. When they went outside, they found several damaged houses, including Tucker. "I do not think it was bad until I was walking along the street, and it's all gone," said Tucker, 49. "I do not know what to do. I do not know where to go. I saw him on TV, but when it happens to you, it's unreal. "I feel lost." Hospital in Creston, 75 miles southwest of Des Moines, the roof was damaged and some of its windows blown out in a storm, but patients and staff were not injured. Medical center officials were calling the other hospitals in the area to help. Christine Dean, who was also among the residents of Wichita mobile home hiding from the storm, said that she trembled as she was driven home in a wheelchair. She was able to grab a bag of his possessions before entering the sanctuary, and that's all she's gone. Her house was not. "He was, however," the 37-year-old woman who is in a wheelchair because of leg injury a month ago, recalls. "Then we heard a boom, all the flies. Everyone shouted, pressing one. "It's devastating, but you know we're alive."Source: 12 News Post
