BZ ALERT: EMERGENCY IN THE HEARTLAND

The sirens wailed across the normally quiet streets of Oakhaven, a sound that froze the blood in most residents' veins. Outside, the sky had turned a bruised, churning purple, the wind already whipping debris into a frenzy. Sheriff Miller stood in the doorway of the station, his weathered face grim as he watched the horizon boil. 'This ain't no drill, folks,' he barked into the radio, his voice tight. 'Head for the shelters *now*!'

Across town, old man Henderson scrambled to secure his barn door, his heart hammering against his ribs. He'd seen tornadoes before, but this felt different, darker. A low, guttural roar began to build, vibrating the very ground beneath his worn boots. He abandoned the door and dashed inside the main house just as the world outside erupted. The sound was deafening, a freight train tearing through the heart of his farm. Glass shattered, timbers splintered, and the roof peeled back like a sardine can. When the roar finally subsided, leaving an eerie silence in its wake, Henderson crawled from the wreckage, staring in disbelief at the devastation where his home and livelihood had stood.

At the corner diner, Martha huddled under a heavy table with a handful of terrified patrons, her hands clamped over her ears as the building groaned and shuddered around them. Plates crashed, windows imploded, and plaster rained down. When the shaking stopped, she emerged to find Main Street unrecognizable. Cars were overturned, power lines lay tangled in the street like dead snakes, and buildings were reduced to piles of rubble. Dust hung thick in the air, mixing with the smell of damp earth and something acrid, like ozone.

Emergency lights began to flash as the first responders, many of them neighbors themselves, moved cautiously through the wreckage. Calls for help echoed from collapsed structures. The familiar landmarks were gone, replaced by a landscape of splintered wood, twisted metal, and stunned silence. The heartland had been struck, and the true cost of the emergency was only just beginning to reveal itself in the faces of the dazed survivors and the monumental task of digging out.
