I'm still shakin' my head over this tornado story Cody Coombes is literally the ultimate survivor! I mean, to think about bein' on that road, stormy skies and all, and then just pullin' into a parking lot at the last second... it's like he was meant to live . And that van of his? It's like the universe had its back . I'm not gonna lie, it gave me chills readin' about it . Those EF-3 tornadoes are no joke, and it's a good reminder for all us to stay safe during storms . The least we can do is prep our emergency kits and have a plan in place . That's the DIY spirit right there !

Oh my gosh, I'm still shaking just reading about this! I mean, 165 mph winds? That's insane! As a parent, it's terrifying to think about what would happen if my kid was driving home from school during a storm like that... how would they even know when to take cover?! And the fact that Cody's van was parked in a secure spot just saved his life is just crazy. It's so important for us as parents to talk to our kids about severe weather and what to do in case of an emergency - it's not something you want to have to go through!
