A four-month-old baby has been found alive "by the grace of God" his parents said after the child was sucked up into a tornado in Tennessee.
The couple said a deadly tornado on Saturday tore apart their mobile home, picking up a bassinet with the baby still inside of it.
He survived and was discovered in a fallen tree in the pouring rain.
The baby, his one-year-old brother and parents only suffered from minor cuts and bruises.
As the tornado approached, the mother of two, 22-year-old Sydney Moore, said the roof of their mobile home was ripped off.
"The tip of the tornado came down and picked up the bassinet with my baby, Lord, in it," Ms Moore told a local news station. "He was the first thing to go up."
Her boyfriend - and the boy's father - lunged to protect Lord in the bassinet, but ended up getting picked up by the tornado, too.
