This is the tweet accompanying the picture below:
"Mason lost everything in the tornado we go back to dig through the rubble and there was his cat setting on the pile that use to be his house waiting on him"
Another amazing story of cat survival. Everything destroyed and Mason's cat is sat there in the middle of the destruction. Mason is thrilled and very emotional:
Amory, Mississippi after tornado: cat found sitting in middle of destroyed home resident. Image: Twitter. |
And this is the weatherman who predicted the tornado would pass through Amory. He too was very emotional and he prayed for the residents which I think is a first for a weatherman on television.
There is a tornado alley in the USA and Amory is in it as far as I can remember. So sad to see so many homes destroyed.
A lot of homes in the US seem to be built with wood. In the UK it is always brick. That said the kind of tornado hitting Amory would destroy brick homes too I'd expect but perhaps less so. Some of these homes were reduced to a pile of matchsticks.
Let's hope there were no cat and dog casualties.
