PICTURE: Grandmother’s prayer closet survives EF4 tornado in Alabama

A widely shared Facebook post shows a lone prayer closet remaining on the site of a home where an EF4 tornado ripped through in Alabama.

Earlier in March, a tornado carved a path across Lee County, Alabama destroying homes and ripping up trees.  Only a few buildings and homes were able to make it, including a local grandmother's prayer closet.

According to 11 Alive, Chaplain Jason Smith was out with Billy Graham's Rapid Response Team and noticed the prayer closet.   In his Facebook post, he reports the entire family who lived there survived.

“Listen to me please,” he wrote in the post.  “I just left a family who survived the tornado in this house and the only left standing is this closet.  It’s the grandmother’s prayer closet, and the whole family survived.  Are you kiddin me!!! My God is awesome!!! Shout somebody! --Jason--”
