A mum and her eight-year-old son have been killed in their sleep after a tornado caused a large pine tree to fall on their home.
Chiquita Broadnax, 39, from Alabama, US, and Cedarrius Tell were sleeping together in the same bed when an EF-2 tornado caused a pine tree to land on their mobile home on Tuesday evening.
Cedarrius' father, Cedric Lamar Tell, who was sleeping in a separate room, was found trapped among the debris.
