Amid the tornado's destruction at Briarwood Elementary in Moore, Okla., a mother is reunited with her son.
Trenda Purcell spots her first-grade son, Kamden, while he is answering a reporter's questions. Purcell doubles over in tears as she reaches down to grab her son's hands and pulls him into her arms. The teacher with Kamden hugs his mom, repeating, "He was so brave," several times.
A journalist for The Oklahoman caught the reunion on camera.
