On April 27th four tornadoes classified as EF-0 through Ef-4 hit Cleveland, Tenneesse, leaving 9 people dead. Today I talk to one family affected by that Tornado.

Tyler Parris was in Children’s Hospital at Erlanger last week after sustaining injuries in the recent Bradley County tornados. His half brother Austin escaped with just a few scratches. However Tyler’s mother was killed in that Tornado. Tyler’s father, who also lives in Bradley County found about his son’s injuries the next morning and he, his wife and two sons, rushed to the hospital to be by his side. The couple stayed at Ronald McDonald House to be close to Tyler. I talked to Bryan and Nicki Parris in Tyler’s room at Children’s Hospital. Listen to Story
