Boy rides out storm in dryer

Austin opened up the door to the dryer — it's about 1-by-1½ feet wide — and squeezed in, shutting the door behind him. As he did, some glass struck the outside of the door and shattered. For several minutes he heard the tornado pull his house apart, the sound of glass breaking, of items falling from shelves. Five minutes after things died down, an aunt, Jessica Wambold, came to the house to find him. Only then did he climb from the dryer.
