Shelbie Villalpando, 27, of Powderly, Texas, said she was having dinner with her family on Friday when tornado sirens forced them to gather first in the hallways of their rented home and then with their children, ages 5, 10 and 14, in the bathtub.

“Within two minutes of getting them in the bathtub, we had to lay over the kids because everything started going crazy. I’ve never been so terrified,” she said. “I could hear glass breaking and things shattering around, but whenever I got out of the bathroom, my heart and my stomach sank because I have kids and it could have been much worse. … What if our bathroom had caved in just like everything else? We wouldn’t be here,” Villalpando said. With information from AP, CNN and Telemundo. Filed Under: Texas Oklahoma Tornado Images.
