English: “The accompanying diagram illustrates a gruesome story. When the funnel cloud approached the house, the family fled. At first they ran northward, a direction of safety. Then, one after another, they turned eastward and ran into the whirl. The younger of two girls ran directly into the tornado path and was instantly killed. The mother had reached a place of safety; then she turned into the tornado path and was crushed to death against a tree trunk. The older girl and a boy also turned toward the storm track; their clothing was stripped from them and they were torn and bruised. The father, with the baby in his arms, had reached a place of safety; then, in fright, he too ran back into the storm track where both were killed. This is one story that illustrates many. As a rule, the path of safety is toward the northwest or the southeast if the direction of the tornado track can be determined.” from the book Handbook of Meteorology
