Ever been in a deep sleep and someone's yelling, but you can barely hear them? It was something like that. I could hear everything, feel stuff, but I couldn't see anything. I had my eyes closed, just keeping the wind and debris from getting in. I was being struck by debris but couldn't really feel it. I just felt a deep pain. At one point I took a blow to the head. I didn't know how much longer I could handle the abuse.
I figure I was spinning upright, like a top, because right before I hit the ground, I remember a feeling of untwining. I landed pretty hard on my stomach. When I looked up, lightning struck, and that's when I saw the tail up in the sky. Plain as day. It was the first tornado I'd ever seen.
