A terrifying storm ripped through a mobile home in Tennessee on December 9, causing widespread destruction.

The terrifying ordeal that parents Sydney Moore and Aramis Youngblood endured when their four-month-old son was swept into the storm was recounted by them.

The 22-year-old Sydney described the horrifying moment the tornado ripped off the roof of their mobile home as it approached.

In her mind, she was back in the tornado that had lifted the bassinet holding her baby, Lord, and her boyfriend, Aramis, had been desperately trying to catch the little one.

“The tip of the tornado came down and picked up the bassinet with my baby, Lord, in it. He was the first thing to go up,” Sydney told Australia’s 9 News.

One of the first responders, Lt. Steven Bryant of the Clarksville Fire Rescue, recounted the mayhem that ensued after Sydney walked more than a mile to get assistance.

Holding onto the spinning bassinet amid the onslaught of the tornado was a terrifying experience, as Aramis described.

As a protective instinct kicked in for her son Princeton, who was just one year old, Sydney described what happened. She swiftly decided to rush and jump on top of her son to protect him from the crumbling walls. “Something in me just told me to run and jump on top of my son.” she said.

“I saw [Aramis] walking through the woods, carrying Lord in the pouring down rain, and all of his clothes were ripped. It was like a scene in a movie,” she told Good Morning America.
