On May 22, 2011, as the heart of the storm approached, Scott Ely, Natalie Gonzalez, and her 10-year-old son all huddled together for safety. The force of the storm crumbled their shelter and Scott was pulled into the air.
If they survived the storm, Scott vowed, they would get married. Now, nearly eight months later, the couple is getting a new home and the wedding that Scott promised.
