I read that story after it happened. What a miracle to be found under all that. Nice storytelling with the pic.

I'm not sure what the baby has to do with the big chair?

Title-dependent, but a lot of PJ is. The only suggestion I'd offer is to have composed so the chair isn't so centered. I do like the chair in the shot - it's so very incongruous with the destruction behind - it looks completely untouched.

Great capture, and the title suits the shot. I hope everyone else made it out ok.

So where is the baby.

I am convinced a tornado came through, I am not convinced that a baby was saved.
