01:25Me and my two children, we proceeded to the bathroom to shelter, if anything should happen.

01:31And that wind was so strong, I felt the entire building shake, as if it was an earthquake,

01:39you know?

01:40And it was very, very, very scary.

01:44And I just thank God.

01:47And I stood there for about an hour-and-a-half, or maybe more, because I couldn't even keep

01:53track of the time.

01:55Just uttering words of prayer, Lord, if it's anything, just protect us, save our lives.
