Brenda Baldwin takes a moment to compose herself outside her now roofless doublewide mobile home near Dunnellon the morning of September 3, 1998. What is thought to have been a tornado spawned out of a band of storms spinning off Hurricane Earl tore the roof off her and her husband's home and destroyed their barn. They were is bed when the stormfront hit and rushed to their four-year-old daughters bedroom then into the bathroom, hudling in the bathtub for safety.
