A 10-year-old boy in Murfreesboro, Tennessee is in critical condition after being swept away by rushing water into a storm drain following a severe weather outbreak in the state. The boy, Asher, is fighting for his life with severe lung and brain injuries. The community has come together to show support for the boy and his family, with the school district organizing a voluntary vigil for prayers and support.
The severe weather outbreak extended from the Carolinas to the Midwest, with fatalities reported in two states. In Tennessee, an EF-2 tornado caused severe destruction in the Eagleville area, prompting a Tornado Emergency for western portions of Rutherford County.
Superintendent Jimmy Sullivan shared the harrowing details of his son’s injuries on Facebook, requesting prayers for Asher’s recovery. The boy was swept into a storm drain in their neighborhood, and despite being administered CPR, he suffered substantial damage to his lungs and brain.
This devastating incident is part of a nationwide severe weather outbreak this week, with Wednesday being the second-most-active severe weather day of the year. The community in Tennessee is coming together to offer support and hope in the face of this tragic event, emphasizing the urgent need for prayers for Asher’s recovery.
