>> aaron, you had trouble figuring out where you were, even though it's a neighborhood you probably know very well. >> yeah. i've lived in joplin my entire life. you know, i've been to my sister's house obviously plenty of times. but everything was so leveled. you had no idea where you were. with the street signs gone, there was no landmarkers. there was no houses, no trees, no nothing. it was just completely barren. so we kept having to ask people where we were. even the people that lived on the streets were so dazed had a hard time telling us where we were. so it was a real struggle to find out where the heck we were. >> sarah, where did you ride out the storm? >> we were in the basement of our home. it was an old cellar. i think originally an outdoor cellar. we just were watching tv, getting ready for dinner and heard the sirens go off. so we went the basement and continued watching tv until we couldn't hear it anymore and realized what was going on. >> what was it like being in the basement hearing this storm?
