@abcworldnews: A #Florida woman is speaking out after she survived an EF-1 #tornado that lifted her #house off its foundation while she was inside. Deborah Mettler, 76, described the ordeal to ABC affiliate WFTS-TV in #TampaBay, Florida, likening it to something straight out of a movie. “It was really [akin to] a ‘Wizard of Oz’ experience,” Mettler said, referencing the tornado scene in the classic 1939 movie. The dramatic event unfolded in #Largo, Florida, north of St. Petersburg, on June 25 and was caught on Mettler’s neighbor Lori Gill’s Ring camera. Footage shows the moment Mettler’s mobile home was lifted nearly completely off the ground for about 15 seconds by roughly 100 mph winds before slamming back down. Mettler was in her home for the entire time and said she didn’t know what had happened at first.

It blows my mind how many manufactured homes are not properly secured with hurricane straps, ESPECIALLY in Florida. This never would have happened if it was tied down.
