reporter : jerry , would you tell us about your experience in the tornado ?
jerry : my mom, my sister , and i were all sitting at the table eating breakfast when we heard sirens going off . out one window, the sky was totally clear . but un the other direction, the sky was really black.
reporter : did you think it was just another storm.
jerry : oh, we guessed it was a tornado , and we all rushed to the basement . suddenly the electricity went out, and we got really scared. i covered my head with a cushion, but i could still hear this rumbling noise like a train . it got louder and louder.
reporter : how long did it last ?
