Two babies survive being flown through a tornado in a BATHTUB

When a terrifying tornado started on its path of destruction in the US state of Kentucky last week, grandmother Clara Lutz jumped into action. 

Clara's house began to shake, as she grabbed her grandchildren and sheltered them in the bathtub along with a blanket, a pillow and a Bible. 

15-month-old Kaden and his three-month-old Dallas were then ripped from their grandmother as the whole bathtub was pulled out of the house by the storm along with the babies, as Clara told the local Channel 14 News

“Next thing I knew, the tub had lifted and it was out of my hands,” she said.

“I couldn’t hold on. I just – oh my God.”

Clara began looking for the kids through the wreckage, after she had just been struck in the back of the head from the bath's water tank. 

Her house was stripped down to the foundation, as the extent of the damage was shared on Facebook.

“All I could say was, ‘Lord please bring my babies back safely,” she said.

“Please, I beg thee.”

The bathtub was found upended in her backyard, with her grandchildren inside. 

Three-month-old Dallas was taken to hospital for a head injury he sustained during the terrifying ordeal, but has made a full recovery. 

More than 90 people have been confirmed dead after more than 40 tornadoes tore their way trough several states in the US.
