“He was sleeping,” Jordan Devine told the television station. “His mom is freaking out and he’s sleeping. All right.”

“Ten minutes prior, I was right here changing my baby's diaper,” Devine told the television station.
Devine now has no place to live. The tornado wiped out the apartment complex's staircase, and people were stuck on the roof for about an hour, Devine's roommate told KCTV. The baby boy, however, continued to sleep blissfully.
“All of his newborn stuff is covered in insulation,” Devine’s roommate told the television station.
