I remember the day pretty clearly. I’m not sure what day, or even what what year but the events that occurred will always reside in my mind. We had just moved into this house in Republic Missouri, I was young and remember my mom and step father talking. The wind was very strong outside, and it was a bit scary for me and my siblings. We knew something wasn’t right, these weren’t normal strong winds. Our new house had a storm shelter under it and we were told to go downstairs into it. I remember that it was dark because the power had shut off, and it was scary, cold, and rustic down there. I remember a line of small windows right under the ceiling and how the floors were concrete and cold. The noises this room provided scared me. We had a small battery powered alarm clock with the radio playing, they said to take shelter because there was a tornado nearby. We were down there for hours and eventually our battery powered alarm clock’s batteries died. We were left with nothing but the noise the harsh wind outside made.
