I saw an interview local news did with him. He really seems to have a great attitude about the whole experience.

I have seen quite a few tornados since I moved to Texas in 1974. I used to live north of Amarillo and usually saw one or 2 each spring. Wide open spaces up there with not much to block the view. You can see them a long way off. But, probably the most exciting thing that happened while I lived in Borger was when the Phillips plant blew up. Rocked my trailer house back and forth and woke me up. My ex was a police officer there and was the first one on the scene, at least as close as he could get. He said that stuff was still falling out of the air when he got on site.

We had a chemical plant blow up near us too one. We lived in a mobile home and I worked nights. I had already been sleeping and my husband pushed the trailer back for some reason a few weeks earlier. A house moving wakes you up real fast. Anyway , I was asleep again and I felt and heard the boom. I ran outside, yelling at my husband. He came running out of his garage, and told me, look behind you. I didn't do anything.
