Two dogs have been reunited with their family after a deadly tornado ripped through Rutherford County.
An EF-2 tornado, with winds of up to 135 mph, struck the Christiana community early Tuesday morning – marking the first fatality from a November tornado in Middle Tennessee since 2002.
Angie Walker was killed when the tornado flipped her home onto its roof. The 41-year-old was an adjunct psychology professor at Middle Tennessee State University and a mother of two.
She was married to Scott Walker, president of Murfreesboro news radio station WGNS.
Early Tuesday, Sky 5 flew over the devastation and spotted a dog running near the rubble.
