That Tuesday seemed like any other Tuesday in recent history. John, a plant manager at a large manufacturing facility, was nearing the end of his shift. He made his final checks, said goodbye to a few colleagues and stepped outside of the facility.

That’s when he heard it: The tornado sirens began to blare out in his hometown. This wasn’t uncommon in the area, but something else was — the low rumbling in the distance. As he stood outside, the rumbling began to grow louder, the wind began to swirl, and the sky was churning. John immediately ran back inside the plant, got on the PA system and informed all employees to take cover in the tornado shelter.
