starts with this debris field, it starts going in this direction.

始于这片废墟区域,开始沿这个方向移动。

That is actually the tornado's trail, and as you see, it's going to get much more dramatic as we get near populated area.

You literally can trace with your finger a line where the tornado wind, the path is completelyobvious.

But if they didn't leave well in advance, they would have survived also because they had this heavy metal storm shelter.

但是如果他们没有提前离开,他们也将因这沉重的金属风暴掩体而存活下来也。

I want to show you how it works.

我会为你展示它是如何工作的。

You open the door, and you take a look inside.

And you see it's very cramped inside, there's not much room, but plenty of room to survive.
