Huron Farms resident Sharon Carty shared her reflections on living through the tornado:

"I totally missed the house that was leveled 10 doors up from mine. Walked right past it without seeing a thing. Everything else was too overwhelming to process. Walls torn off the side of houses. People's closets exposed to the outdoors. The smell of gas in the air. People milling around, in a daze, checking out the damage."
