Missouri – Matt Suter was 19 years old when he had an experience that he will never forget.
He survived after being swept up inside a tornado. There have been a few stories like this, but this one is a little different.
According to the National Weather Service, there was a severe weather outbreak that led to several tornadoes in the Missouri Ozark on the afternoon of March 12, 2006, that lasted through the evening.
