The swarm of tornadoes and powerful storms that leveled large swaths of communities across the Midwest and South, claimed dozens of lives with many more feared dead.
Some were cherished grandparents, siblings and children. One mother wrote on social media after her 21-year-old son’s body was pulled from the rubble: “My baby … I can’t believe I lost my precious baby boy.”As a tornado whipped through Dawson Springs, the Koon family took shelter in a bathroom. Oaklynn was strapped into her car seat, which her parents hoped would buffer her, according to her father, Douglas. Her two older brothers lay in the bathtub, pillows on top of them.
One of his sons had a cut on his head, the other was trapped under debris and Oaklynn appeared badly bruised but OK, Koon said. He ran all three children to safety, grabbing Oaklynn by the car seat that she was still strapped into. In the hospital, the boys, Koon, his wife and mother-in-law received stitches and other medical care and were all discharged, a GoFundMe organized for the family said. Oaklynn’s health, however, started to decline. By later Sunday, she had to be flown to a different hospital because of a stroke that doctors suspected was caused by injured neck veins, the GoFundMe page said.
