Woman sleeps through tornado

A woman said Friday she fell asleep on the couch and didn’t realize a tornado had ripped off part of her roof and damaged most of the home until firefighters and neighbors came to check on her. Betty Russell, who will turn 77 Wednesday, said she slept through the violent storm Thursday night after she dozed on the sofa watching TV. She was woken by sirens from rescuers. Russell believes angels helped keep her safe.
