Talk about your one-in-a-million situations. On June 13th, an EF-2 tornado struck the township of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. in the dark of night. For a city of approximately 40,000, this was an unusually powerful tornado, given how briefly it stayed on the ground. Once it struck, the tornado took a death-defying trip through the Wilkes-Barre Township business district, then ravaged the local mall before heading down a major thoroughfare, Interstate 81.

Tammac Holdings Corporation, a local financial services company that specializes in programs for the manufactured housing industry, sat directly in the path of this unusual twister. What’s more, it prides itself on its responsiveness to customer needs, so being in an exposed location was particularly dangerous.In the northeast, nighttime tornadoes are practically unheard of. In fact, since 1950, only 2.2 percent of the more than 850 tornadoes recorded in the Keystone State have occurred between 10 p.m. and midnight. Nighttime tornadoes are especially dangerous because you can’t see them coming, and they strike at a time when people are less focused on the weather.
