LONDON, Ky. —

Incredible stories of strength and survival are continuing to come to light after last week’s deadly tornado tore through Kentucky.

It was just after 10:30 p.m. last Friday when sirens began going off in London, Kentucky. Heather McClarrie’s uncle, David Krull, did his best to take shelter inside the trailer he shares with his sister.

“They were the only two that lived together,” McClarrie said. “He’s fully handicapped mentally, so she is his full caregiver.”

With his sister at work, Krull was left to shelter alone.

“He said that he was standing by his bathroom door, and he said, all of a sudden it stopped raining,” McClarrie said. “And then next thing he knows, it sounded like a freight train was coming.”

Krull was thrown 80 feet and buried beneath the rubble.

“A neighbor heard him screaming,” McClarrie said. “If it had been just a couple minutes later, I don’t know what would have happened.”

Krull suffered a spinal cord injury that’s left him paralyzed from the neck down. The trailer was destroyed. When the family went back after the storm, they stumbled upon something remarkable.

“My grandma’s ashes were in the kitchen, and he was on the complete opposite side of the trailer,” McClarrie said.

But McClarrie says a guardian angel was watching over her uncle.

“When they came back out, they found the urn right beside where he was fully intact,” McClarrie said. “All ashes still contained. And when we told him that, he just cried, That was what he needed to hear. He needed to hear his mama was there.”

The family is now focused on healing and rebuilding, alongside a community still in shock.

“It is just all these people’s pain, it’s like you can physically feel it through the air,” McClarrie said. “But also at the same time, you know there’s so much love and support coming from all over the world that is helping every single one of us.”
