A fourmonthold baby who was swept away by a tornado was found alive in the top of a tree by his family. The incident was recorded in Tennessee in the United States.
When the phenomenon occurred, the little lord was sleeping in a cot in a trailer where the family lived. In the trailer were the baby, his oneyearold brother and the child's mother and father.
According to Sydney Moore, the baby's mother, the first thing thrown into the air when the tornado passed was the gentleman's crib. The roof of the caravan was torn off due to the strong winds and the child's father clung to the crib to protect his son, but both were carried away.
To protect her other son, 1yearold Princeton, Sydney threw herself at him as the walls of the mobile home collapsed. “Everything fell on me. I could hardly breathe,” he told local television WSMV4.
After the tornado passed, Sydney and her companion, who had broken his shoulder when he fell to the ground, were distraught over Lord's disappearance. They quickly began searching the rubble for the little one.
According to Sydney, Lord was found alive in a “cradle of intertwined branches” in the crown of a fallen tree. He only had a cut on his ear, which was closed with surgical glue, and a few scratches on his face.
“We were told it appeared to have been carefully placed in the tree. As if an angel had guided him safely to this place,” the child's aunt, Caitlin, wrote in a post on GoFundMe, where she launched an online fundraiser to help the family who lost everything in the tornado .
