A grandmother had a lucky escape after Hurricane Helene threw a tree into her bedroom destroying everything in sight - apart from her Bible.
Cindy Cole, 62, was lying in bed when she heard a "voice" which told her to get up and go to a different part of the house in Nashville, Georgia, she claims.
Minutes later a tree crashed straight through the wall - smashing her bedroom to bits and landing right where she had slept, on September 26.
And when she went back to investigate later, she saw her Bible was still sat upright on her night stand - virtually untouched by the chaos.
The death toll from the storm climbed to 180, it has been reported - impacting North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia.
