Teddy bear saves infant torn from mom in tornado
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Ala. - Ripped out of her mother's arms by wind from a tornado, 1-year-old Natalie Edwards landed safely in the arms of a familiar companion - her teddy bear.
Tracy Edwards was holding her daughter when their mobile home in rural northwest Limestone County flipped several times, then landed upright.
"I screamed for help," said Edwards, 25. "It was pitch dark and I couldn't find Natalie."
About five minutes passed before she and neighbors heard a cry. They found the baby in the arms of her two-foot teddy bear with angel wings.
