First photo second post- They were prepaired, They had a metal skid unit tied down with 1 1/4" cables barried 6' in the ground with screw tie downs. One end of the tie downs on the skid unit was pulled out of the ground and lifted one end of the structure to 60 degrees before it was all over with, they thought they were gone'ers.

It's not very incuraging when the weather man on TV says,
"If you are not below ground at this time, you will not survive this tornado ,you will die"
