Reginald Epps Jr an 8 year old boy was picked up by a tornado from his Alabama house and swept away into the darkness of the storm, survived with only relative minor cuts and bruises. Epps was inside the family home with his family when the tornado struck the house, initially popping the windows out, then ripping away the walls and roof, sucking him up into the swirling 200mph winds before dropping him some 10 metres away without injury. The house was destroyed during the 30 second barrage as the storm passed through. Epps parents feared the worst given the ferocity of the tornado and the damage it created, but were stunned to see their son walking back towards them, describing how he floated up into the tornado then just floated back down.
