Last weekend was one of the most horrible for the small town of Blue Ridge in Texas when a suspected EF-0 tornado hit the local Collin County, killing 11 people including a newborn baby and recording dozens of injured individuals.

José Daniel Santillano and his wife just welcomed their baby two days before the tornado hit their town. While peacefully inside their trailer home in Blue Ridge, the winds came surging towards them, which threw their house and them inside 100 feet away from the foundation, CBS DFW reports.

After the storm died down, Santillano's neighbors, Debralee King and her husband, rushed to see them since they heard screaming voices, only to find Santillano injured and requesting to save his two-day-old daughter.

"At first I didn't realize what was going on," King said as quoted by the publication. "I thought they were glad the storm was over."

Furthermore, Fox News Latino reported that King rushed the newborn baby to the hospital to try and save her.

"He wanted me to take her to the hospital," King said. "He was frantic. His wife was still trapped."

The noble neighbor even revealed to the news outlet how much she prayed hard and hoped that the cold hands of the infant would soon be warm.

"I kept saying, 'Oh, my God. Be OK, baby. Be OK,'" King recalled. "Her little hand was cold. I kept praying," she added. However, after the paramedics did CPR "The poor little girl didn't make it," King revealed.

As of the moment, Santillano, the father of the late newborn Aleya, is still injured but cleared by the hospital and listed in good condition. However, his wife remains to be in critical condition.

"I've never seen anything like this, with this scale of destruction," police chief Mitch Bates said as quoted by the news outlet. The tornado, which hit the nation's midsection last Monday, came with heavy snow, ice, rain, flooding and blustery winds.

More than 2,800 flights were canceled nationwide. Texas has encountered a total of nine tornados, destroying and damaging 1,450 homes in the northern part of the state.

Furthermore, the Northeast Dallas suburb of Garland, according to The National Weather Service, experienced an EF-4 tornado, which is considered to be the second-most powerful tornado with winds up to more than 200 mph.
