So she drove to her parents farm about 15 kilometres south of town. “I was very relieved,” Lamb said. Lang said the area appears to have been the hardest hit. “I just opened the garage door and basically the wind threw me right in.” And some of those thunderstorms did produce tornadoes,” Lang said.
