Miracle as newborn baby is sucked out of his home by 150mph tornado – before being found alive up a tree

A NEWBORN baby was found alive up a tree after miraculously surviving being sucked into a 150mph tornado.

The four-month-old was sleeping in his bassinet when the tornado struck his home in Clarksville, Tennessee.

The whirlwind ripped the roof off of the family's mobile home as the baby's father tried to grab onto his cradle.

But he got spun up and sucked up into the swirling vortex along with the baby.

His girlfriend, Sydney Moore, 22, said: " He was just holding on to the bassinet the whole time, and they went into circles."

In another room, Sydney jumped to protect her one-year-old before the walls collapsed and they got trapped underneath.

"Something in me just told me to run and jump on top of my son," she said.

"The moment I jumped on him the walls collapsed."

Luckily the mother and son were able to get out of the crushed trailer.

Then they frantically searched for their newborn for ten minutes in the pouring rain.

"I thought he was dead," Sydney said.

They found the four-month-old alive and lying in a fallen tree.

"I was pretty sure he was dead, and we weren’t going to find him. But he’s here, and that’s by the grace of God," she added.

Sydney's sister, Caitlyn Moore, wrote on GoFundMe: " We were told that he looked like he was placed on the tree gently. Like an angel guided him safely to that spot."
