 Deb came home like any other day, got a bite to eat, and had the news on. There was a storm building east of Bennington, but it was Kansas in May, so thunderstorms and tornadoes are just part of a normal weather broadcast. There's tornadoes around Kansas all the time, so I didn't think too much of it until things started getting closer, Deb said. Looking back, if I knew then what I know now, I would have put as much stuff into my vehicle as I possibly could and gotten the heck out of Dodge.
