If you've ever been caught in a howling whiteout blizzard in the prairies/great plains, you will understand this story. Sometimes you can hardly tell which way is up.

Allow me to give a full ETS shout-out to the 80 yr. old man who brought people to safety.

A great tale! Ultimately people band together to help one another, at least that's been my experience.
