underneath the debris until first responders managed to pull her out. she joins me with her daughter tiffany. it's great to have you both here. when the storm was coming, how much warning did you have? >> i'm not quite sure because i was working. then i got the alert that severe thunderstorms were coming. and then, as soon as that happened, it turned into a watch. and then, the next thing i know, i don't know what to do because my son is in high school, south moore high school and i didn't get my alert because my phone quit working. they were holding them in the school and so i stayed in the house. >> where in the house did you go? >> i went in my living room. i had a hall closet. a coat closet. i went in there, sat on the floor, grabbed a pillow and put it over my head. it got so loud, i knew it was hitting.
