Key Points:
- Storm chaser Ashton Lemley discovered a kitten alive and trapped in the debris of a tornado-ravaged trailer park in Bogue Chitto, Mississippi, after storms spawned at least three tornadoes injuring a dozen people.
- Lemley found the wet and scared kitten hiding between wooden posts and captured the rescue on video before handing it to the United Cajun Navy disaster-response group for care.
- Despite the devastation, the kitten appeared uninjured, and there is significant public interest in adopting it if its owners cannot be found, with some suggesting the name "Tornado."
- Lemley, who has chased storms since 2010, expressed emotional impact over the event but will not keep the kitten himself due to a cat allergy.
