Oh Holy Crap! This is scarey! I wish she would have listened to the hospital staff damn it! Why don't people ever listen! I hate stories like these! I think they said on the news that these tornados were ranked as E-F 3's and 4's. Oh My God!
Authorities said she was killed when a tornado picked her up and eventually slammed her into a car.

INDEPENDENCE, La. -- A 51-year-old woman was killed when she was sucked out of a hospital entrance and into a tornado as horrified emergency room workers watched. Officials said the woman was visiting a hospital when severe storms hit Tangipahoa Parish. The hospital staff advised the woman to stay inside the building but she decided to walk out, according to the report. Authorities said she was killed when a tornado picked her up and eventually slammed her into a car.
Emergency workers saw it happen, Local 6 reported Wednesday. "It was, from what I hear, that the staff was horrified," Medical Director Dr. Kathleen Willis said. More than two dozen vehicles parked at the hospital also were damaged by fallen trees. Temporary shelters have also been opened in Jefferson Parish for residents needing refuge.
