Judy Pugh, Woman Who Lost Home In Tuscaloosa Tornado, Experiences 'Miraculous' Event On Camera (VIDEO)

Judy Pugh was in her Tuscaloosa, Alabama home when a massive tornado -- one of many to devastate the region -- ripped through her neighborhood on April 27.

In this video, Pugh tells CBS42 News how a wall pinned her to ground as the twister carried her roof away. She believes that very wall may have saved her life.

Although her home was destroyed from the vicious storm, two of Pugh's cats made it out alive. Her third cat was never found in the weeks following the disaster.

While the CBS42 cameras are rolling, something entirely unexpected happens. As one news anchor says, "There are moments that can only be described as miraculous."

That is such a beautiful story, I unashamedly bawled my eyes out! I would be the same way about my fur-babies and I am so happy that her family is back together agin . I would also like to thank her for reminding me and others about what is really important in life!

I rarely return to a story, but this is such a sweet feeling I had to see it again. Kudos to the cat for intuitively knowing the moment for maximum exposure. Best on camera entrance imaginable!

OK, yes, I goofed. Glad the cat is alive, but the rest of my statement stands.

Again, Proof of God by Incomplete Disaster? Her home is destroyed, many people died, and one of her cats died. How is that a miracle?

If you read the post I made immediately after this one, I acknowledged my error. Still not a miracle.

Kudos to God on saving the cat, too bad about all the people, though.

This is Judy's miracle and glad we could witness this while she was being interviewed.

All of us in general, and those in the middle of the crises in particular, need miracles these days. I'm so happy Ms. Judy has all her "children" back in her arms. They say that the way a person treats animals is an indication of how they treat others. It would appear we need a lot more Ms. Judys in the world these days. Continued blessings to Ms. Judy and her furry little family.
