Clint Emerson

As is usual on Sunday, I write about someone that we can all admire and hope to imitate if the situation arises. Clint Emerson is such an individual.

In a matter of seconds, Clint Emerson, combat medic with decades of experience was confronted with a destructive foe, one that lay waste to much of his property, leaving several “teachable moments” for others facing future natural disasters.

Form AccuWeather:

As a medic, Clint Emerson had been in more high-pressure situations than most. While at his north Dallas home last December, Emerson was confronted with a new challenge befitting of his survivalist instincts: keeping himself and his family safe amid a destructive tornado.

Taking on a natural combatant instead of an enemy soldier, Emerson quickly knew that he had to take action on the morning of Dec. 13, hustling to his home’s safe space along with his daughter, who was visiting from college. The Texas-bred Emerson saw rain beating down on his property “out of nowhere” that morning, escalating into one of the more than a dozen tornadoes that were confirmed by the National Weather Service office in Dallas-Fort Worth during deadly severe storms that had moved through the South.

“The rain went horizontal, like it was going to break the glass of the house,” Emerson told AccuWeather of his frantic morning. “Then, the rain started spinning, and at that point, that’s when I yelled to my daughter, ‘Get your shoes on.'”

“Most people, when they’re lounging around their home … they’re walking around in either house slippers or barefoot, that’s kind of normal for most homes I think,” the retired Navy SEAL said. “Whether you’re in a hotel traveling abroad, or you’re at home, make sure you got shoes on. Shoes that you can either run with or fight in. When it comes to survivability in disasters … you want to be able to move quick.”

With alacrity, the SEAL Team veteran and his daughter threw on their shoes and headed to the powder room, which was centrally located and had no exterior walls. Although he pointed out that “nothing is permanent when a tornado hits,” the pair was able to ride out what became one of the four EF2-strength tornadoes in the Texas metropolitan region.

Assigned to the elite SEAL Team Six and the National Security Agency during his military experience, Emerson said the sudden nature of the disaster was comparable to any prior mission he had undertaken. He noted that the accompanying raindrops became “like little bullets,” and that the “freight train” sound of the tornado ripping through the area was no different than an explosion. Pressurization from the storm buckled his ceiling within seconds, no different than being ambushed, Emerson explained.

“[The tornado was] just as violent as any combat situation … those winds, especially twisting and spinning … I had no idea how violent they really were until you’re sitting there, you’re looking at it.”

While most everything on his property was destroyed, Emerson’s quick thinking saved the lives of himself and his daughter. His advice about wearing shoes and getting to a room with no outside walls is something we can all put somewhere in our memory bank.

And BTW to Clint Emerson: “Thank you for your service!”
