Youth group at church in Gamber rides out possible tornado

ON THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. THEY SAW IT WITH THEIR OWN EYES. PRAYERS AT THE NORMAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT YOUTH GROUP GATHERING AT FAITH FAMILY CHURCH GAMBER. >> WITH A TWIST WHAT MANY DESCRIBE AS A TORNADO TOUCHING DOWN IN THE TREE LINE AT THE BACK OF ITS PROPERTY. WE JUST STARTED RALLYING ALL THE KIDS UP AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY WERE SAFE AND KIND OF SECURING THE BUILDING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AND >> ALL OF THAT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY. AND THEN WE STARTED SEEING A VERY LARGE FUNNEL DROP. I IT WAS NOT 3 MINUTES AFTER THE THE PRAYER JUST WRAPPED UP AND SOME PARENTS ARRIVING TO PICK UP THEIR MIDDLEAND HIGH-SCHOOLERS. >> NEARLY GOT CAUGHT OUTSIDE IN THE STORM THERE. JUST LIKE SQUEEZE AND THAT NO, AS FAR AS SHE WAS BEATING ON THE DOOR BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE JUST LIKE THAT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, WHICH MAY HAVE SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY. THE STORM HAD PASSED LEAVING A 50 YARD WIDE PATH OF DESTRUCTION. WHAT WE DID GOOD. I MEAN, IN HERE IN WIND ACTUALLY IN THE CHURCH ITSELF AND LESS THAN 100 YARDS FROM THE CHURCH AND MANY OF THE FAITHFUL ARE CONVINCED THEY'VE BENEFITED FROM SOME DIVINE INTERVENTION. THERE'S NOTHING BY CHANCE. KNOW GOD WAS CLEARLY TAKING CARE OF US LAST NIGHT. YOU KNOW, GOOD OR BAD. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. HE'S ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF >> AT THE LAST SECOND, THE CHURCH SAYS IT ALSO TOOK IN SOME TOTAL STRANGERS. PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING ALONG NEARBY ROUTE. 32, WHEN THEY SAW THE STORM AND PULLED OFF IMMEDIATELY
