WYOMING, MI - It turns out that a camera caught what a Wyoming couple and their 4-year-old son missed while the trio was hiding in their basement during

last month's tornado touchdown.

Nathan and Nicole Boyer were napping on their couch on Saturday, Aug. 20 with the TV on when Nicole woke up to the storm. Once they saw the wind and heard the warning siren, they ran for cover.

"We grabbed the dog and the kid and ran downstairs," Nicole Boyer said.

They didn't have to wait long. An EF-0 tornado with winds peaking at 85 mph passed near their house on Boone Avenue.

Minutes later, they emerged from the basement to see three trees belonging to their neighbor, Randy Claflin, uprooted and lying on the ground. One tree took out Claflin's fence and and damaged his garage, while another landed on his truck.

The Boyer's surveillance camera, which they installed after a robbery, recorded the wind and the violence of the storm. Claflin's trees can be seen toppling one after the other and Nicole Boyer's car, parked in the driveway, rocks back and forth from the wind blast.
