Boom.
That's the last sound Ziggy Juarez remembers before being dugout of the remains of his mobile home just 5 miles east of Muleshoe.
Juarez was in the kitchen Sunday night, when high winds overturned his trailer, throwing his son and nephew out and toppling on top of him.
His son and nephew ran to neighbors for help. "Started raining and wind picked up," said Adrian Chacon,a neighbor. "We didn't see when the trailer flipped over. Just the people were in there, and all of sudden they came to our house and told us the trailer had flipped over."
Juarez was dug out within a short period of time. He and his family suffered no serious injuries.
Now left with a few clothes and living with relatives, Juarez says he's just lucky to be alive.
