They were staying at a resort for a group duck hunting trip when the storm touched down.

Sandy says Steve, Grayson and Jamie went to bed on the second floor of the building.

Survivors told her they were outside when the storm rolled through.

They hid in a bathroom stall in the neighboring building.

When they went outside again, everything had been leveled except the bathroom stall.

Sandy says Steve adopted Grayson as a baby.
