I grew up in Iowa on a farm by a major highway. During serious snowstorms, people often got stuck along that road. Weather prediction in the 1950s wasn’t too accurate, so we had no warning to store food before storms. Otherwise, we could keep enough food in the house to feed many people for days—including those stranded(使……滞留).
Our large house was home to my parents and 2 children—my brother Bob, six years older than me and I. We always had room for overnight storm “guests”, but rarely knew any of them. When I was 14, a heavy snowstorm stranded seven people at our house. By 8:00 p.m. my family and unexpected guests were settled in eating popcorn and watching TV.
Through the strong wind and TV, I thought I heard a loud noise outside. I heard it again. When I opened the door, I screamed. Someone was lying there, completely covered with snow, speaking unclearly and quietly about something we could not understand. Eventually, she was able to tell us that her wheelchair-bound husband was a half mile down the road with their truck stuck in the snow.
We listened in disbelief as she described crawling(爬行) along the road to our house because she knew they would freeze to death if they stayed in the truck. Through bright snow, on hands and knees, she felt her way along the highway edge to stay in a straight line.
My parents immediately called the highway police to come and locate her husband. They refused, saying they lacked equipment, and that it was unwise to risk any more lives. The woman cried and begged my family to rescue her husband in case he was frozen to death. Eventually, my father and brother determined to feel their way to a tractor(拖拉机) with chains on the wheels. They also carried a blanket and ropes.
