“We were desired, “Davis said.” They were my children, and we had the dogs, the cats and all in the basement, and our ears exploded, and then everything collapsed. “

The preliminary qualification of the tornado is at least one EF-3, based on the improved Fujita scale, but the damage to the national weather service is not complete. The winds of a tornado of this caliber vary from 153-206 mph.

After emerging from the first warning of tornadoes, Davis said the family only tried to “save as many people as we can.” His 19 -year -old son grabbed his emergency medical kit and helped a neighbor with a broken femur. Another neighbor had a serious stomach injury, and another had two broken legs.

“He raised him and threw him on his shoulder,” he said. “Another storm approached, so we had to run to the basement.”

After the next storm passed, they tried to help the injured people.

“We keep listening to people screaming,” someone helped me! Help us! Help us! “” Davis recalled.
