Kentucky Victims Miraculously Survived Killer Tornadoes
One of the towns seriously hit by killer tornadoes last Friday was East Bernstadt with a population of 800. The devastating cylone destroyed countless properties in the town leaving five people dead and more than 40 injured.
The cylone has been considered the worst in 25 years. Residents, who survived the deadly twisters, were assisting their neighbors pick up remains of dead relatives.
Jason Ray Jackson, one of the individuals who suffered from several bruises and cuts, managed to survive the deadly twisters together with his two children.
He didn't have the time to hide or run to a safer place when the storm hit his house while he was with his two kids, 6-year-old Brooke and 3-year-old Jacob. It was a quick incident that shocked him as he opened the door to check on the rumbling sound outside.
He just got home when his children started to become curious about the noise outside. He immediately went to look outside but was faced with a tornado that is trying to tear the screen door apart.
He right away grabbed his children and held them tight down on the floor. He tried to calm down his kids while asking God to protect them.
The wind was so strong that he wasn't able to hold his daughter for long. He passed out before he hit the ground with a distance of 100 yards.
He came to with his son sitting on top of him trying to wake him up by patting his face. Right away, he searched for his daughter thinking that she might be dead.
He headed to his sister's house carrying his son and miraculously saw her daughter there safe and alive. Both children suffered from injuries, but are now getting better while staying at their grandma's house.
Other stories from other survivors of the raging storm that hit Midwest and South were extraordinary. Students hid under their desks, people tried to protect themselves by going down the church basement while some went inside a bank vault.
