An estimated EF3 tornado tore through Nebraska, destroying dozens of homes and cherished belongings inside. Among them was a high schooler's track jersey, but its owner wasn't going to compete without it.
Normally, the end of April is when Nebraska high school student Lilly Dall is worried about how fast her one-mile split time is during the 3200-meter race, but just days before the conferences meet, a tornado ripped part of the roof off of Dall's house in Bennington .'When the house picked up, it kind of, like, twisted it, I'm assuming, because our foundation is off by like eight inches,' Dall said.
So, in hindsight, I wasn't really surprised.'But on Saturday, after returning home, Dall made it her mission to find her jersey.'I also have a superstition where like, I have to wear the same stuff, you know? So like, I needed that jersey,' Dall said.She nearly gave up after walking her family's entire property and coming up empty-handed, but then a birthday sash blowing in the wind caught her eye.'I saw it, and I'm like, Oh, that's funny.
