After several minutes, she leapt over the 5 foot fence and ran across her neighbor’s yard. At that time, the visibility was zero, and the winds were howling at 60 miles per hour. Andrea Anderson, neighbor’s 11 year old girl, was out looking at the storm when the wind blew her across the yard. She jammed in a drift, and was unable to free herself. Villa heard her cries for help, and found Andrea. Then, Villa had to circle Andrea several times before she was able to manage to free herself from the drift.
