A 4-month-old baby caught in a tornado was found sleeping and unharmed in a “cradle” of branches.
Sydney Moore rushed to the cradle with her baby son Lord as the walls of her mobile home collapsed on them both. But before she could grab the baby, she saw the cradle being pulled into a funnel by a tornado and carried away.
The outside of her car was totaled and the area around her mobile home in Clarksville, Tennessee, was completely destroyed.
Sydney was terrified that she might never see her 4-month-old baby again, but continued to desperately search around for him.
And a miracle happened.
“It was like a little wooden crib,” Moore recalled, telling her story to local television station WSMV. Her child remained unharmed and slept in the crook of a fallen tree. Sydney’s sister added that from the outside it looked as if the little Lord had been carefully placed there, as if an angel had saved him from this terrible storm.
Caitlin, Sydney's sister, started a GoFundMe to help the family recover from the destruction of their home, vehicles, and the loss of all their furniture and most of their belongings. The fundraiser has already reached $68,000 of the $100,000 the family is hoping for.
