// Jim Stasell Recalls Surviving a Tornado Weeks After Having an Aneurysm // // By: //// TSC //// Staf // ~on August 28, a tornado struck ~Jim Stasell was awakened by banging noises on the side of his home, it was hail ~all of a sudden, he heard a loud roar and saw the shingles from his roof fly by him ~he yelled for his kids to stay in the bedroom and his wife and he laid down in the kitchen ~a galvanized chimney from a neighboring house crashed into the back door ~Stasell and his family survived the traumatic event and rebuilt their home on the same property ~on average more than 1,000 tornadoes hit the US each year, 77% are considered weak ~most tornadoes happen in the afternoon or evening hours, but they can occur anytime ~it is a good idea to have a pre-arranged plan for what to do if a tornado happens ~you should stay away from windows and doors ~if you can’t get inside a shelter, you should lie flat on the ground in a ditch (or other low-lying area) and cover your head
