“I went to bed in the carriage. I had not been there but a few minutes when the Spirit said to me, ‘Get up and move that carriage.’ I told my wife I had to get up and move the carriage. She said, ‘What for?’ I said, ‘I don’t know.’ I got up and moved my carriage. I then looked around me and went to bed. The same Spirit said, ‘Go and move your animals from that oak tree.’ I went and moved my horses and put them in a little hickory grove. I again went to bed. In thirty minutes a whirlwind came up and broke that oak tree off within two feet from the ground. It swept over three or four fences and fell square in that dooryard, right where my wagon had stood. What would have been the consequences if I had not listened to that Spirit?” – President Wilford Woodruff
