On July 2nd, Courtney Buchholtz had just put her son, Cannon, down to sleep in their Prairieville home in Baton Rouge, a Louisiana suburb when a storm began to rage. Then a huge tree came crashing through the roof. The monitor captures the baby who was sleeping peacefully, wakes up from the loud crashing sound as insulation and debris rained down from the roof. Suddenly, you see Courtney walk and quickly grab her baby.

In her Facebook post, Courtney said that it happened two minutes after she put Cannon to bed and that going to take her from the debris was 'one of the most scariest things' she had ever experienced, understandably so. 

Her entire family and dogs are safe, and they have temporarily moved to her cousin's place while they fix up the house as it is currently 'unlivable'. Friends and neighbours all gather to help the family and she expressed her gratitude towards them. 

Speaking to local media Buchholtz said that this isn't the first time the family's lives have been devastated by a weather-related disaster.

"Trying to remember that all of our material things (once again) can be replaced. We did it once in 2016." Buchholtz said. "We'll do it again."
