A woman has described standing in shock inside an arts-and-crafts store in Gaylord, Michigan, as a deadly tornado barreled through on Friday afternoon, May 20, causing major damage to the building along with many others. In a Facebook post, Brittany Gunderson described her ordeal: “I just watched a tornado tear through Hobby Lobby while I stood frozen in the isle. The screams. Watching the roof come off. The wind and the rain and the darkness crushed through the back of the store and I just stood there and watched because I had no idea how to take cover.” At least two people were killed and 44 were injured by the tornado, officials said. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued a state of emergency for Otsego County to fast track resources to affected areas. Credit: Brittany Gunderson via Storyful
