2 babies survive tornado that carried them away in bathtub

-

Two babies survived a tornado in Kentucky last weekend that ripped the bathtub they were sheltering in out of the ground and tossed it with them inside, their grandmothe­r said.

Clara Lutz told WFIE-TV that she put 15-month-old Kaden and 3-month-old Dallas in the bathtub last Friday with a blanket, a pillow and a Bible. Then the house in Hopkins County started shaking.

The bathtub was found in her yard, upside down, with the babies underneath. Authoritie­s from the sheriff ’s office drove to the end of her driveway and reunited her with the two children, she said.

At least 90 people have been confirmed dead across multiple states after more than 40 tornadoes pummeled a wide area last weekend.
