Three children blown away by winds found safe CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 5 (UPI) -- Three children blown away from their Charlotte, N.C., home by a tornado Saturday escaped with only minor injuries, their mother said. Latonya Stevens said she tried to get to her four children's rooms before the storm's winds woke them and heard a loud boom as she turned on a light switch, The Charlotte Observer reported. Stevens managed to grab one of her 3-year-old twins, who had been downstairs, and looked for her other children. The roof had already been blown away. She heard her other children calling her name. Stevens found her 3-year-old daughter, Amber, under debris in a yard. Ayanna, 4, had landed in a neighbor's yard. A neighbor found 7-year-old Jamal about 100 feet from the family's home, between the backyard and Interstate 485. Jamal was discharged from Levine Children's Hospital Saturday night, Ayanna and Amber, on Sunday. They were at a relative's home with bumps, bruises and scars, but no broken bones, the Observer said.
