Two officers were caught in a deadly tornado that ripped through a Kentucky community and -- after surviving a beating from mother nature -- rescued a severely injured young girl by carrying her out of harm's way on an old door.
Graves County Sheriff's Deputy Chandler Siris and Sgt. Richard Edwards were trying to position themselves where they expected the storm to come through in Mayfield, Kentucky. Before they knew it, the tornado was on top of them.Debris was flying everywhere, beating on their patrol cars and making it difficult to do anything but hunker down and ride it out.
A Navy veteran, a loving grandfather and a judge were among those killed in the tornadoes that swept through several statesThe pair ran back to one of their patrol cars, grabbed"go bags" with tourniquets in them, and ran back toward the home, being careful to run through the fields because downed transformer lines filled the roads. "It was instantaneous," Siris said."As soon as we got out of our cars, we knew somebody needed help and so we went to them.
