A deathly string of tornadoes touched down in Alabama and Georgia more than a week ago confirming 23 deaths up to now and ninety were injured, while a few others remained in critical condition.
After an evil storm that destroyed several communities, visuals that are largely being shared on the internet show a house standing still surrounded by complete devastation, and miraculous survival is going viral now.
In the video, trees surrounding the two-storey home are uprooted. The house in Georgia did appear to have minor damage on the roof, but it is awestruck how miraculously the line survived with destruction all around.
Photographer Matt Gillespie uploaded the picture on Facebook, writing, “Insane that this house is still standing and thank God these residents are ok!”
The viral visuals were first covered by The Daily Mail. In the post, Gillespie said that he was at his parents’ home when he captured the drone footage.
The tornadoes barreled through Alabama on March 3, 2019, was the deadliest in the United States since May 2013 when an EF5 tornado killed 24 people in Moore, Oklahoma. With winds reportedly reaching up to 170 mph, the horrific tornado turned to be the deadliest in the United States for six years.
Six states reportedly were affected by the severe weather that spawned the tornadoes - Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump paid respects to the 23 people killed by the strong wind.
