You are not going to believe this!
A story so unbelievable, it could only happen in Tennessee.
But first… if you thought Tennessee was only famous for country music, Elvis Presley, and good old Jack Daniel’s whiskey, you’re in for a whirlwind surprise.
Yes, we’re talking about tornadoes in Tennessee.
The Volunteer State doesn’t volunteer for these twisters, but they seem to have a standing invitation anyway.
The tornado rate in Tennessee is like a country song on repeat… it keeps coming back and it doesn’t look like it will stop anytime soon.
The tornadoes in Tennessee are a bit like uninvited guests at a party.
They show up, whip everything into a frenzy, drink all your Jack Daniel’s and then leave your place looking like the aftermath of a yard sale gone wrong.
And the rate at which they pop up is simply mind-boggling.
It’s as if Mother Nature looked at Tennessee one day and thought, “You know what this place needs? More tornadoes!”
And boy, did she deliver.
On average, the state sees about 29 tornadoes per year. That’s almost like having a tornado every other week.
Who needs that much excitement? It’s like living on an adrenaline-fueled roller coaster that occasionally rearranges your furniture and tosses your car into the neighbor’s yard.
Now, back to the story.
A baby boy, let’s call him “Superbaby,” gets sucked up by a tornado, tossed around like a cotton ball in a washing machine, and ends up in the warm embrace of a fallen tree.
And the best part?
The little guy is totally fine – not a scratch on him!
Who needs superheroes when we’ve got Superbaby?
Now, this wasn’t just any old regular tornado.
This was a Tennessee tornado.
You know, the kind that decides to drop by uninvited, rearranges your living room, and then leaves without so much as an apology note? Yeah, one of those.
This particular tornado decided it wanted to play a game of catch with Superbaby.
Superbaby, being the adventurous little tyke that he is, decided to go with the flow, quite literally.
In fact, he went with the tornado’s flow right out of his cozy crib and into the big wide world.
That’s one way to start an adventure.
And who said babies don’t know how to have fun?
Now here’s where the plot thickens. Our Superbaby doesn’t just end up anywhere.
Oh no, he lands in a fallen tree. This kid clearly has a sense for dramatic entrances!
But don’t worry, this isn’t a sad story.
You see, Sydney Moore – or as we like to call her, Supermom – wasn’t about to let some pesky Tennessee tornado keep her away from her baby boy.
“The tip of the tornado came down and picked up the bassinet with my baby, Lord, in it,” Moore said, per BBC. “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,”
“Something in me just told me to run and jump on top of my son,” she added. “Literally the moment I jumped on him, the walls collapsed.” Her son at that was sucked away by the tornado, prompting his desperate mother to look for him.
“I thought he was dead,” she said, recalling looking for her son in the pouring rain. Moore ended up finding him in what she called a little tree cradle. “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.”
She did what any rational parent would do when their child gets sucked up by a tornado and ends up in a fallen tree: she climbed that darn tree!
She spotted her little boy nestled in the branches, probably contemplating the wild ride he’d just had.
And would you believe it? The kid is totally fine.
Barely a hair out of place!
This baby is made of tough stuff. He’s like a real-life superhero baby!
Who knows! With beginnings like these, anything is possible!
