TEXAS TORNADO: GOFUNDME LAUNCHED FOR FAMILY RESCUED BY STORM CHASER FREDDY MCKINNEY
A GoFundMe page has been set up to support a Texas family whose home was destroyed by a tornado on Thursday. The family was rescued by storm chaser Freddy McKinney, who had been tracking the tornado in Hawley. While live streaming the tornado's path, McKinney witnessed the twister tearing through County Road 458, completely destroying the family's home. He then saw the family running up the street. Among them was a woman carrying a child. McKinney immediately asked them to get into his vehicle and drove them to the nearest hospital.
On Friday, Bradye Lynn McQueen, a relative of the family, shared hospital photos, expressing gratitude towards McKinney for his heroic actions.
"Thank you Freddy for taking care of my cousin & her family. We are all so grateful you were out there. As an update for everyone, they are very banged up, but they have all been discharged & are spending the night at grandparents," she wrote.
