By the time the tornado siren sounded one week ago, the roof of Sydney Moore’s mobile home in Clarksville, Tennessee, had been sheared off and her 4-month-old son Lord sucked up by the twister.

By the time the tornado siren sounded one week ago, the roof of Sydney Moore’s mobile home in Clarksville, Tennessee, had been sheared off and her 4-month-old son Lord sucked up by the twister.

“There was no warning,” said Moore, 22, who immediately moved to shield her 1-year-old son, Princeton, with her body.

Moore’s boyfriend, Aramis Youngblood, 39, rushed to protect Lord, who was sleeping in a bassinet swept up in a swirl of wind and debris Saturday evening as a series of powerful tornadoes and storms tore through the state.
