A Sheepdog in Henryville

Angel Perry is definitely a Sheepdog!  In a very chaotic, dangerous situation she kept her calm, made the right decisions, and got her kids to safety. 

That is Angel's calm voice on the radio, conversing with dispatch, and talking to her kids.  She calmly gets them ready for getting into the building when they get there, knowing she will not have much time, and counts them as they get off the bus, making sure she left no one behind.  The video shows her bus then being picked up, and being thrown a couple of hundred feet away into a restaurant.

A friend of mine, Michael Dorn, had this to say on his blog, " I have heard more than a couple of well trained law enforcement officers who got more excited on the radio during an emergency than this driver sounded (including perhaps even myself on a few occasions)." 

Angel's ability to remain calm, and to think clearly under life or death stress, is no small feat.  One of the hardest things in the world to do is drive a school bus safely while keeping an eye on your charges.  Throw in an EF4 tornado with 175+mph winds bearing right down on you, and you have a true hero.

Well done, Sheepdog, well done!
