| Name | Katie S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Although I didn't hear any sound from this, it made me duck down in my senator, as it seemed close enough to strike land close by. I honestly thought it was going to hit us very close by. Fascinating, yet, horrifying. It made me scream out, "DID YOU SEE THAT?!?!" Truly a once in a lifetime (so far) experience!!! |
