room somewhere? >> reporter: yes, we are. we are all together in a room, shut erred up with big shutters. we're safe in the room that we're in. but just to listen to what's going on all around us, it is heartbreaking to hear what's going on outside. in a few hours when we're able to go back outside and see what it looks like, i'm scared to see what it looks like. >> mike, you have a very vivid description of what the wind sounds like. can you explain that to us. >> well, it sounds like a woman screaming at the top of her lungs, a high-pitched squealing sound. it is coming through every crack in the building now. every once in a while we hear a piece of debris hit the wall. >> it does send a shiver down your spine. you say -- look, you do this for a living. you chase storms. you have seen a lot of these.
