We showed you these tornadoes that ripped through Tennessee last week, but I have never seen a story like this one.
New York Post @nypost · Follow Baby swept away in Tennessee tornado found alive ‘by the grace of God’ in unusual spot https://trib.al/ze6zaF4
Yes, this family, in their mobile home, took one of those tornadoes head on. It ripped the roof off the trailer and the first thing to be pulled from the ground was a bassinet in which their 4-month-old baby was sleeping. Mom had already jumped atop their 1-year-old, and dad quickly grabbed onto the bassinet. According to mom, he was "just holding on to the bassinet the whole time, and they went into circles."
Take a moment to let that sink in. I mean, a tornado is ripping the mobile home to shreds, mom's on top of the older baby, and dad's spinning around in circles above what was the mobile home, latched onto a bassinet which may or may not have still contained the 4-month-old.
Honestly, that's crazy.
When dad landed he had lost the baby in the wind and the little boy was nowhere to be found.
Despite the circumstances, Moore said she and her family were able to escape from the debris and search for their baby, all while fearing the worst.
After about 10 minutes of searching, Moore said she and her boyfriend found the baby alive in a tree that had fallen in the rain.
Dude, like, I know I'm a guy or whatever, but the tears in my eyes right now are real. I simply cannot imagine the emotions that would've been running through my mind at 150 miles per hour had this been my family.
"I thought he was dead," she said. "I was pretty sure he was dead and we weren't going to find him. But he's here, and that's by the grace of God."
Moore and her family were left with little to no personal belongings after the tragic incident, but the community has reportedly rallied to support the young couple and their children by providing them with formula, diapers and other necessities.
God bless that community! And it's already been done, but God continue to bless that family!
Moore's sister has also set up a GoFundMe for the family.
Oh, I'll leave this here for all you baby lovers out there:
That’s a kid you want to get lottery numbers from.
Amazing story for sure.
Second best (Christmas) Present in the world.
If that ISN’T A MIRACLE, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS. Thank you LORD JESUS FOR KEEPING THIS INNOCENT BABY IN THE PALMS OF YOUR HANDS AND GIVING HIM BACK TO MOM AND DAD. AMEN
God is a miracle worker who answers prayer. Wonderful.
What an amazing story!
I hate clickbait headlines.
Glad the baby is alive. Isn’t that miracle enough?
It doesn’t say where in Tennessee—there were 4 tornadoes in Middle Tennessee on December 9.
From the perspective of the UK, it’s all the same extreme weather event.
Screen got blurry reading this. God bless that family.
all Glory, Honor, and Praise go to Him.
(and what is with God and trees...)
