19、e sun had been out. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching.

20、age of the tornado than it was on top of us. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. Pink insulation（絕緣材料） flew into the room from a trapdoor to the attic, and the wind began to roar through the house. We had three flights of steps to navigate to get to the relative safety of the first

21、 floor. Because the closet down there is wedged （塞進(jìn)） underneath a brick staircase, it seemed like the sturdiest(堅(jiān)固的) place in our town house to wait things out.I didnt know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I

24、to the closet floor, but he couldnt get inside himself because of the wind. I gripped Jimmys arm as the tornado sucked the door open and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and scalp were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out and into

25、 the bay. “Hold on! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldnt believe

26、 it was over. Jimmy said hed go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Dont leave me.”O(jiān)ur neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were
