It is a happy miracle that occurred in Kentucky (United States) after the passage of violent tornadoes in early December. Two babies survived the storm after being placed in a bathtub, reports 14News.
The two miraculous, aged 3 and 15 months, were being looked after by their grandmother when the tornadoes hit them. The American then placed the infants in the tub, covered with a blanket, a pillow and a Bible. His house then began to shake. “The next moment the tub rose and I lost my hand,” she says. I couldn’t hold on anymore. “

Barely injured
The tub and the two babies vanished. The grandmother suffered a head injury after being hit with the water tank. After the tornado passed, his house was completely destroyed right down to the foundations. She then started looking for her grandchildren in the rubble while waiting for help to arrive, says Slate.
On site, rescuers found the bathtub upside down in the yard. Below were the two children. The smallest had a bruise and hemorrhage in the skull, but the bleeding stopped before he arrived at the hospital. Otherwise, both babies were unharmed.
US Congressman Trent Arnold was present at the scene after the disaster. According to him, the preparation of the grandmother and the blankets placed in the tub certainly saved the lives of the two toddlers. The authorities also recommend hiding in bathtubs in the event of a tornado, because it is one of the most solid places to live.
