When a tornado was heading toward her house,Mika Muroi Archives 75-year-old Charlesetta Williams climbed into a bathtub with her son and just ... let it happen. And somehow this is a happy tale.

Bathtubs are known as being a safe bet for tornadoes, but only in houses where the tub is built into the ground. Williams's trailer was only connected by PVC piping, which quickly separated from the trailer after the tornado took off her roof.

The tub, still containing Charlesetta and her son, was picked up by the tornado and landed in the woods more than 25 feet away from their trailer. "It felt like somebody just had their hands on us and just placed us on the ground," her son told KSLA.

Charlesetta said on the matter: "I don't wanna ride in another one." Fair enough. But we're not convinced she shouldn't take advantage of being apparently invincible.
