"When we hit the bottom of those basement steps, it sounded like a freight train was outside. I remember looking up at our basement window and all I could see was a brown swirling. I never prayed harder in my life. Then suddenly, it got deathly silent. You couldn't hear anything. No birds chirping. It was just still."
