There's a story from the tornado affected states (TN, AR, KY, MS) from this past week's tragedy. The last count was 56 people were killed from the different tornadoes and storms that hit these states. Here's the link to the story.
This 11 month old baby survived being tossed from his home during one of the tornadoes. They found him in a field about 150 yards from his home. The field had been checked once, but they missed him at first. He was almost missed the second time because they thought he was a doll.
Although this is amazing, there's another part that cracked me up. It was the tale of James Krueger. He was working on a home when the tornado hit. I'll let the story tell itself:
There were countless stories of people relieved to be alive. James Krueger, a 49-year-old electrician, opened the door to look out of the 100-year-old home he was restoring and the wind sucked the door from his hand. He dived onto the ground "as if I was sliding into first." The house was pulled out from under him - and when it was over, he was on bare ground.
"It was like God was holding my leg and beating the (expletive) out of me for everything I've done in my life," said Krueger, of Lafayette. "Maybe I tried to question God too many times, but the bottom line is something kept me there."
It was like God was holding my leg and beating the ... what a perspective! It made me laugh. I'm glad he's okay.
