Racing just behind the monster storm he looks for damage and victims.Dep. Robert Jolley says, “It was a big and ugly.” He is stopped, briefly, by a fallen power line. Dep. Robert Jolly, “We had to keep stopping, moving debris, out of the roadway, things like that.”At about this time, he sees the tornado begin tearing through the rural community of Bridge Creek.Beneath the storm, Robert Williams and his family climb into a closet and brace for very worst minutes of their lives. Robert Williams tells his familys story, We set down and grabbed the door, and shut it, and held on to it as tight as I could. It snatched the roof off, and pulled the mattress up, and pulled all the kids up. I saw them go up, at the same time,the walls fell. My wife was holding on to me, falling over and sliding with the house. The trailer I guess blew up on this thing, and slid over the top of us, and then it pushed us over that there, somewhere. It killed my wife and had me trapped on the back of the house.” Williams wife died in his arms. Robert William, “She couldnt say anything. I just held her head in my hands, because thats all I could get up, and tears rolled down her face, and she died, and that was it. Tough, tough, tough. Tough time for everybody.”His daughter, Amy Crago, her husband, Ben Molton, and their ten-month-old baby girl, Aleah, vanished.Amy Crago says, “ We were all together, and we all rolled a little bit together, and then we just all went different directions. I dont know what happened to my baby during it all, but I didnt pass out through the whole thing. I remember it very well, and I was in the air, and all the debris was hitting me and you can t imagine how bad that hurt.”The tornado tossed Amy Crago and her baby hundreds of feet in different directions. She says, “ I went to one house and I reached in one window and got a shirt and put in on my head, because it was bleeding, and I finally found a lady and she took me down to where the police were and, I was just trying to get my baby, I thought my whole family was dead.”Eventually Amy got a ride to a hospital. Thats about the time deputy Robert Jolley arrived and saw Amys father. He says, “Ive seen one man walking in the roadway and saying he lost his daughter and granddaughter, so this is where I immediately started looking.”At the scene of the tornado he describes what happened when he went looking for the baby. We got down here to where all this debris was up against the trees. Something caught the comer of my eye. I looked and I couldnt see anything. And when I looked again, I could see there was a baby, curled around the base of the tree, down there, had her little face in the mud.”Deputy Jolleys dash mounted camera captures the rest.She actually looked like a tag doll. She was dirty. Her ears were packed with mud, and her eyes were packed with mud. When the baby started crying, I felt great felt wonderful. I kept the baby with me for about minutes, before I could find emergency medical service, and I tuned her over to them.” Baby Aleah was reunited with her mother in a hospital. Now they are staying in a motel with her dad, She says,I just knew everybody was dead and I was all alone, I was so happy when they found her. Its just a miracle.

I had no luck calling and decided that as the director I should run to the office to see how everyone was. I made it to the office to find three staff members trying to piece together what was happening. We had no idea how bad this day was about to become. The nightmare continued as rumors were flying about Washington D.C. being attacked and other planes being hijacked.Then the South Tower collapsed. Soon, a storm of dust came running toward the Seaport.
