Tornado Sucks Baby Asleep In A Bassinet And Found Unharmed

Sydney Moore stood in horror as the bassinet, cradling her infant son Lord, ascended with the roof of her mobile home into the swirling vortex of a tornado. In that heart-wrenching moment, she feared she had lost him forever.

With no time for tears, she instinctively shielded her 1-year-old boy, throwing herself over him just as the walls of their home crumbled around them. The destructive force of the tornado spared nothing outside—her car was reduced to rubble, and the once-familiar surroundings of her Clarksville, Tennessee mobile home lay in ruins.

Having miraculously survived the collapse, Sydney desperately searched for her 4-month-old son amidst the wreckage. Her boyfriend, injured and disoriented from being hurled by the tornado’s force, joined her in the search, his arm and shoulder bearing the marks of the traumatic event. Together, they faced the daunting task of navigating the aftermath, hoping against hope to reunite with their missing child.

“I thought he was dead,” Moore somberly told WSMV when speaking to them. “I thought he was dead and I’d never see him again.”

Then, a miracle took place, one that no one expected.

“It was like a little tree cradle,” Moore recalled. The infant emerged from the harrowing ordeal with nothing more than a minor cut, peacefully nestled in the embrace of a fallen tree, blissfully unaware of the chaos that had unfolded around. Moore’s sister couldn’t help but marvel at the sight, struck by the thought that it seemed as if a celestial force had guided the child through the tempest, placing him there with utmost care, akin to a little Lord cradled by an angel.

In the aftermath of the calamity that befell Caitlin and Sydney’s family, Caitlin took the initiative to set up a GoFundMe campaign. The purpose was to aid the family in rebuilding their lives after losing their home, transportation, furniture, and a significant portion of their belongings.

The response to the fundraiser has been extremely heartening, with numerous compassionate individuals contributing generously to this. The campaign has already managed to amass $68,000, a substantial sum on the journey towards the family’s goal of $100,000. The outpouring of support is a testament to the goodwill of those who have rallied behind the cause, extending a helping hand to a family in need during their time of adversity.
