Elderly woman lives through a severe tornado Wizard-of-Oz-style

A 75-year-old woman from East Texas, Charlesetta Williams, had quite a survival adventure to tell her grandkids.

Earlier this week, a severe tornado, with peak winds as high as 130 mph, hit the elderly woman’s residence in Marion County, taking off the roof of her house. According to reports, Williams decided to take refuge in her bathtub and the tornado lifted the tub out of the house bringing it into the woods. Fortunately for Williams, she was unharmed despite her bizarre journey.

Well, at least she was able to experience being whisked away by a tornado like Dorothy, except she landed in the Texan woods rather than the mythical land of Oz.
