Greenwood couple took shelter as tornado blew front doors open
She “did a movie-quality dive into the theater room and then it hit and blew the front doors open,” Adam Stoner said. Damage for Sunday's tornado included structures of homes, roofs and downed power lines that could keep people’s power off for days, Pruitt said. But despite the destruction, the department found no related deaths or injuries in its search and rescue operation, he said. Officials were enforcing a curfew overnight in the affected area.
They immediately roused Copas’ 20-month-old daughter and mother-in-law, who were napping; grabbed the dog and diaper bag; and headed into the bathroom since their home has no basement. They had about 30 seconds to find shelter before it hit, Copas said. She had moved into her apartment just three weeks ago. Along with her entire roof, the tornado swept away her progress unpacking and grocery shopping.
