"I felt the pain. It's the roots of our family. Every single one of family members comes from that town, or within 50 miles of that town," Briscoe said. "To hear my aunties describe the encounter, it's just heartbreaking to hear them talk about it. Feeling the vortex, it was pulling them up. They had to literally link arms to stay down."
"Getting the chance to go first-hand and see something like this, I think it's just going to be a really rewarding experience to really help the people that need it, in the time they need it most," Thompson said. "When you're there, it's so real," Richardson said. "When the world experiences these disasters that are just so devastating to people, you just want to be able to help and make it better."
