A Mississippi family is “physically and emotionally shattered” after their house was destroyed by a dangerous tornado on Friday, killing a father and his young daughter and injuring the rest of his family, according to loved ones.
According to The New York Times, Ethan Herndon, 33, and his 1-year-old daughter Riley were killed when a storm hit their house in Wren, where they resided on a street called after their family, which had lived there for centuries.
Riley, who was only a month away from turning two, was recalled by her relative as “a really happy baby,” according to the newspaper. Her brother, a Navy veteran who worked at an RV dealership, she said, “loved his family more than anything.”
