Clint Murphy wasn’t home when the tornado struck his Kingsbury, Texas, home, but his 70-year-old, immobile father was.
KINGSBURY, Texas - A Texas man is grateful that his elderly father is unharmed after he rode out a tornado that tore through his property from his bed.
Clint Murphy was taking it all in Tuesday as he went through their belongings, left scattered hundreds of feet across his property outside of Kingsbury, Texas. A tornado tore through his RV and father’s home Monday evening.He wasn’t home when the tornado struck, but his 70-year-old, immobile father was.
“And they walked around the corner here and he was sitting on the edge of that bed smoking,” Murphy said. “Just sitting there. ‘Took y’all long enough,’ he said. ‘About time y’all got here.’”“No scratch and I guarantee he was, he was laying there praying,” he said. “I guarantee you that.” Those were prayers answered when he remained unharmed after the home’s roof collapsed and most of the walls were ripped off.Murphy’s whole living room is gone. All the stuff stored in his shed is untouched, but the shed itself was sucked up onto the house and into a tree.
Several kayaks are scattered across the property, and his new RV is destroyed. It was sitting on concrete squares when strong winds picked it up and moved it about 15 yards, wrapping it around a tree.“Maybe two little cabins for me and my dad,” He said.
