9-Year-Old Killed in Tornado Took Photo With Sisters Minutes Before Twister Hit
December 14, 2021
As a tornado approached a family’s home in Missouri, three young sisters huddled together in a bathroom for safety. The moment was captured in a photo, with 9-year-old Annistyn Rackley in the bathtub, clutching her favorite doll. Sadly, it was the last photo the little girl would ever take. Minutes later, the home was obliterated by a tornado, one of dozens that ripped through several states in the South and Midwest in a catastrophic weather event over the weekend. Third-grader Annistyn was killed.
