Wednesday, August 29th, 2007 — It was supposed to be the first day of school. Instead, students spent Monday helping their families pick up debris and comprehending the damage left by a tornado the night before. Erica and Levi Rick, reacting to viewing the scene again Monday, took shelter in the closet of their mobile home moments before a large tree fell and sliced their home in two, just narrowly missing the closet during the Sunday night tornado in Northwood.
