Good for her.

When I was growing up, I was taught how to prepare for something like a tornado. At least, I think I was. Some teacher definitely went through all of the effort to explain what you’re supposed to do in a weather-related emergency, but as the years have gone by, that knowledge has faded to the point where, if I was actually *in* one of these situations, I’d probably just film it saying, “Damn, that’s crazy” until the thing ripped my house off its foundation.

This girl is smarter than that. After seeing a storm raging toward her house, she decided to run outside and save her pooch — which she managed to do right before the storm ripped her backyard into a pile of dirt and 2x4s.
