What a fantastic escape that was!
There must have been many guardian angels
watching every step of yours to protect you!
What a lucky escape!
Thanks for sharing your story.

Rerun, that is a fantastic story I'd love to read the story in it's form for publishing. I'm not a journalist or anything but I was good at essays at school, would that be any good to you?

I've printed a copy for each of the family.  Some of the younger kids now age 9 and 10 didn't even know it happened.  So, that is what I wanted.  I'm not sure who would print it?  A lady did a story right after it happened and sent it to Reader's Digest and they didn't print it.

Hi Rerun,
I just read the long version again and it really is incredible. I recently read a book called "Crazy for the Storm" and I thought of you.
You might try sharing it on one of these websites:
