Ansten (9 years old) was photographed 15 minutes before she was killed by a tornado – VG

A family of five took refuge in a bathroom in their home near Carothersville, Missouri, on Friday. But the house did not have a chance to withstand the harsh force of the hurricane.

In the photo, 9-year-old Anisten sought shelter in a bathtub with her two sisters, Alana, 3, and Avalyn, 7. Just minutes later, the house was torn apart, he writes New York Post.

Parents Megan, 32, and Trey Rackley, 37, chose a windowless bathroom to protect themselves from the hurricane, but the house couldn’t handle the hurricane’s violent force.

Her cousin Sandra Hooker, Meghan’s maternal aunt, said they were sucked into a whirlwind and spat into the mud several meters away. Among other things, they worked together at the school where the 9-year-old went.

The Baby MawMaw doll, one of the lovable assets Annistyn is pictured with, has been found in the mud and will be given to little sister Avalinn.

Everyone is injured

An image from the site showed that parts of the area were leveled with the ground, cars overturned and trees were scattered.

All other family members were also infected. Sister Avalyn broke a leg in her back and will have surgery on Wednesday. She is said to have told health workers that she “flew” in the cyclone and spat. Megan’s mother broke several legs, sustained a severe brain injury.

Father Tre and younger sister Alana had minor injuries such as cuts, bruises and trauma injuries and were discharged from the hospital, according to Hooker.

Hooker is speaking on behalf of the family and has spoken with the family’s father and emergency crews who found family members at the scene, as well as police and other emergency services.

Moved in a week

Hooker remembers Anisten as a “special angel” and an energetic girl, despite the fact that she has a rare liver disease. She loved swimming, dancing and cheering.

– She only gasped because she got into the split all the time, and just laughed, says Hooker.

They moved into their new home just a week before the hurricane hit and haven’t had time to empty all the moving boxes yet.
