Another man wasn't able to see shelter like the other approximate 75 employees.
"I was in that metal building right there that's missing a roof," said Robert Bowen. "There was a water softener cylinder up against the wall that pinned my leg up against the wall so I couldn't get out and the wind and the rain and I guess the force of the tornado picked me up off the concrete and the only thing that was on the ground was my leg that was pinned to the wall."
