4-month-old found alive in a downed tree after Tennessee tornado destroys home: "I was pretty sure he was dead"

In Tennessee, a young family faced an extraordinary challenge when a tornado struck their home. Sydney Moore and her fiancé, Aramis Youngblood, quickly sprang into action to protect their two young sons, who were napping at the time. Amidst the chaos, Moore shielded their one-year-old son, Princeton, while Youngblood took care of their four-month-old, Lord. Incredibly, despite the tornado's destructive force, both children were unharmed. Lord was even found safely nestled in a tree. This story is a testament to the family's unbreakable bond and resilience in the face of a terrifying natural disaster.
