Time Stands Still for Tornado Victim


�When you call for your kid and there�s no answer, time stands still for a long time,� said Phillip Field. His mobile home (shown above) was flipped upside down December 17th. Dazed and confused, Philip finally reached his son. They used a macrame plant hanger to lower themselves to a door that was ripped from its hinges, and slid down the door to the ground outside.

About the Red Cross, Phillip said, �They�ve hung in there all this time-they�ve been great. I know they help people all over the world, I didn�t ever think it would be me.�

Tornadoes can happen anytime of the year with little or no warning. Are you prepared? Do you have an evacuation plan for your family? Have you designated a safe place to gather?

Get prepared now, Tornado Preparedness keeps families safe.
