Out in Kansas, tornadoes 1 often hit with sudden devastation 2, and without warning. In one case, a house was completely whisked away, leaving only the foundation and first floor. A silver-haired farm lady was seen sitting dazed, in a bathtub, the only remaining part of the house left above the floor. The rescue squad 3 rushed to her aid and found her unhurt. She was just sitting there in the tub, talking to herself.
"It was the most amazing thing . . . it was the most amazing thing." she kept repeating dazedly 4.
"What was the most amazing thing, Ma'am?" asked one of the rescuers.
"I was visiting my daughter here, taking a bath, and all I did was pull the plug and dog-gone-it if the whole house didn't suddenly drain away."
