Tim Herring, who survived the twister by huddling in a bathtub with wife Patti Herring as roaring winds ripped off the roof of their house and splintered walls, had followed weather forecasts during the day and didn t expect the worst until it happened late Monday.
“I ve lived here 64 years. I wasn t too worried,” he said. Herring added: “I ve helped folks after tornadoes. This time, it s us.”
