Grandmother Clara Lutz is shocked at the sight of the bathtub flying away in the tornado that blows around her in the middle of the night around her home in Hopkins County, Kentucky. She has just placed her two little children, aged 3 and 15 months, there to protect them, surrounded by pillows, blankets and a Bible. As the house does not have a basement, the bathroom is generally one of the most solid places recommended in this case. But the storm - very violent - swept away the roof of the house and then the bathtub. In the chaos and darkness, she starts looking for them. "I looked everywhere to see where the tub might be," Clara Lutz told local channel 14News. I had no idea where these babies were. All I could say was Lord pleasebring me my babies safe and sound. Please, I'm begging you. "
