“We were watching the news, we saw that the tornado apparently was going to hit Providence High School within three minutes and Providence High School is just right here,” she said. Wellman knew she had to act quickly.

“I had two babies in my sunroom,” she said. “I threw them in my son’s arms. Then I ran out to the playroom, my husband and I grabbed the others.”
