A four-month-old baby miraculously survived after being flung into a tree by a tornado in Tennessee.
The twister struck Sydney Moore’s trailer home where she and her fiancé tried to protect their two young boys.
Moore’s four-month-old rested in a bassinet near his father in the front room when the tornado touched down on the trailer.
Moore’s fiancé held on to the bassinet and the two were sucked up into the tornado together.
“The roof came down first, the tip of the tornado came down and picked up the bassinet with my baby Lord in it, and he was the first thing to go up.”

“He was just holding on to the bassinet the whole time, and they went into circles, he said, and then they got thrown,” Moore said.
Moore’s fiancé was separated from the infant during the tornado.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old mother was in the back bedroom with her other son when she heard the tornado approaching. She instinctively threw herself over her one-year-old son to shield him. Immediately afterward, the walls collapsed on the young mother and her child.
“Literally, when I jumped on him, the walls collapsed. I was being really crushed, like, I couldn’t breathe,” Moore recalled to WSMV 4.
The EF-3 tornado, responsible for six fatalities and over two dozen injuries in Montgomery County, wreaked havoc on Clarksville in December.
