You and your fiancée are sheltering in the basement of your apartment building, following a tornado warning for your area.After hearing an “all clear” on your emergency radio, you head upstairs and outside, only to witness massive devastation on your block.The power is out, cell service is out, and there is a car that is flipped upside down on its roof, up against a lamp post.You hear cries and moans coming from the vehicle.No one else is yet in sight. On approaching the vehicle, you see four people inside, two adults, and two children.The driver, a man, has crawled out the window of the vehicle.He has a compound fracture of his right leg, and is bleeding severely from a head wound, with blood coming out his ears and nose.He is conscious, but barely, unable to answer your questions. The woman on the passenger side is unconscious.She was not wearing a seat belt and has fallen from the seat.A brief examination shows only minor scrapes and cuts, but she is wearing a medical ID tag that indicates she is diabetic.She regains consciousness during your examination of her, and says she feels lightheaded and weak, and that she has not had her medicine yet today.She points back to the boy in the backseat, says, “hospital”, then loses consciousness again. In the back of the vehicle, on the passenger side, a young girl, approximately 8 years of age, is screaming loudly, clearly in a great deal of pain, traumatized by the accident.She is covered in blood, though you can’t initially see what the source of the blood is.She shies away from you as you try to enter the car, screaming louder. Opposite her in the back seat is an older boy, a young teenager, perhaps 13 or 14.He is curled up in an upright fetal position, moaning softly, hands protectively over the lower right side of his abdomen.He has no visible wounds, and your questions to him reveal that his pain is internal.He manages

to tell you that the family was on their way to the hospital, suspecting appendicitis, when caught out in the storm.
