Leap Day morning in Harrisburg woke a couple to severe weather. At about 5 a.m. loud rain and hail battered the house as a distant siren sounded, signaling a real tornado threat. The narrator and spouse hurried to gather clothing amid whistling winds.
Harrisburg Mayor Eric Gregg pledged the city will rebuild after an early Wednesday tornado killed six, injured about 100 and caused millions in damage. Authorities described the losses as devastating, with four women and two men among the deceased, most at a duplex behind a retail strip near Walmart off U S 45.
