It took less than a minute for an Oklahoma contractor to lose his home and business to a killer tornado.
Editor's Note: Last May 3, 75 tornadoes struck five states killing more than 40 people in Oklahoma and Kansas. The main tornado that swept through Oklahoma stayed on the ground a full hour and destroyed much of what stood in its way for 30 miles. Contractor David Liszeski and his family found themselves in its path. We set out to interview Liszeski and write our own story, but after he sent us his notes, we didn't think we could do better. How can he be so sure of the times? "I was intensely aware of everything that happened," he told us:
5:30 p.m. - Looked at neighbor's plumbing, two doors down from our home. Contracted a job for 3 p.m. the next day to clean the washing machine drain line. Headed for home.
