Wow!
As a deadly tornado bore down on her neighborhood just over a week ago, a Kentucky grandmother reportedly placed her two grandchildren in the bathtub with a blanket, a pillow and a Bible.
Her house in Hopkins County, Ky., was stripped to its foundation by the force of the tornado. The tub was swept away with the children inside. Miraculously, they survived.
“I felt the rumbling, I felt the shaking of the house. Next thing I knew, the tub had lifted and it was out of my hands. I couldn’t hold on, I just - Oh my God,” Clara Lutz told WFIE-TV.
All I could say was, ‘Lord please bring my babies back safely. Please, I beg thee,’” she told the local TV network.
With the help of the local sheriff, the children were eventually found - still under the bathtub, which was upside down in the yard. They were reportedly not even wet from the driving rain.
Dallas had a “goose egg” bump on the back of his head, Lutz said, and he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville with suspected bleeding. He was later released. The boys’ parents’ home in the north of the county was untouched by the storm, Lutz said.
Happy Birthday, Space Force!
