An infant who was sucked up by a life-threatening tornado has been found alive, safe and unharmed.
Lord, a four-month-old baby, was carried away by a tornado that struck Clarksville, Tennessee, United States.
His parents, Sydney Moor and Aramis Youngblood, had put him and his brother Princeton to sleep in the afternoon before the disaster.
What does tornado sound like?
Moore, 22, narrated the incident, describing the sound as that of an aeroplane flying directly above them.

"As soon as I jumped on top of Princeton, the back bedroom, the walls collapsed. I remember me and Princeton got thrown onto the ground, and then we got picked up and thrown down again, but he never left my arms. And somehow, somehow, I still had his pacifier clenched in my hands.
In the front bedroom, Aramis was in there with Lord, and the roof came off and swept them up. The bassinet was the first thing to go," she said, as reported by Good Morning America.
It was like a movie, Moore
After the tornado passed, the couple could hear but could not see each other as they searched for Lord.
The young one was found nestled safely in a downed tree after a 10-minute search by Moore's terrified fiance.
"It was just like he was placed in a tree, like a little tree cradle for a baby. It was like a cubby hole in a tree at the bottom. I saw him walking through the woods, carrying Lord in the pouring rain, and all his clothes were ripped. It was like a scene in a movie," Moore shared.
