A 10-year-old boy has been identified as one of the six people who were killed by powerful tornadoes that ripped through Tennessee on Saturday. 

Arlan Burnham was one of three people who have been confirmed dead from the disastrous EF-3 tornado that touched down in Clarksville, a town in Montgomery County. 

The boy’s family has been hit with the tragic loss of their son and the loss of their entire home from the mayhem.

‘My beautiful baby boy, Arlan, did not make it out of the house. Ella was taken to the hospital but was released with superficial injuries. Archer was with his mom. Our home is gone,’ the fourth-grader’s mother, Katherine, said in a Facebook post.

Joseph Dalton, 37, and Floridema Gabriel Perez, 31, died in the Nashville area. Perez’s son, Anthony Elmer Mendez, 2, was also killed. Dalton’s mobile home had rolled on top of the Perez’s during the storm. 

Two other adults who died in Clarksville have not been named. A total of 83 people were hurt and 23 are being treated at local hospitals following the storms.

Katherine posted a heartfelt tribute to Facebook for her son Arlan, where she described that their home ‘was in the direct path of the tornado.’

Neighbor Billy Urban rushed over to the scene as he helped pull the boy and his older sister from under the debris, but Arlan did not survive the wreckage. 

‘I owe him so much. He saved our daughter,’ Arlan’s father Kyle told Clarksville Now. 

The family has urged others to show their support through a GoFundMe page that has been created by his colleagues.

‘Please don’t blow up Kat’s phone. She has to replay this over and over again and it’s getting exhausting having to hear her explain, cry and say thank you,’ Kyle said in a Facebook post. 

Donations have poured in for the family as their page that was set to reach a maximum goal of $5,000 has now raised over $73,000.

Contributions made for the Burnham family are set to be used for rebuilding their home and funereal expenses for Arlan. 

The page said: ‘Let us come together as a community to show Kyle Burnham and his family that they are not alone in their struggle.’

‘Your generosity will provide them with the strength and resources needed to begin the healing process and rebuild their lives in the wake of this heartbreaking tragedy.’ 

Besides monetary donations, clothing donations have also been requested for the family. Arlan was a fourth grader at West Creek Elementary School.

A total of 83 people were hurt and 23 are being treated at local hospitals with injuries after homes and businesses were damaged in multiple cities from the deadly twisters

Along with the massive tornadoes came hail the size of quarters pummeled down, while trees were uprooted, and power lines were downed in the deadly twisters.

Multiple municipalities reported roofs torn off homes – leaving thousands without power. Photos posted on social media showed damaged houses with debris strewn in the lawns, a tractor-trailer flipped on its side on a highway and insulation ripped out of building walls.

Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts said in a statement: ‘This is devastating news and our hearts are broken for the families of those who lost loved ones.

‘The city stands ready to help them in their time of grief.’

A state of emergency was declared in Clarksville following the horrific twisters.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said he and his wife, Maria, were praying for all Tennesseans who had been affected by the storms.

‘We mourn the lives lost and ask that everyone continue to follow guidance from local and state officials,’ Lee said in a statement.

The National Weather Service issued multiple tornado warnings in Tennessee, and said it planned to survey an area where an apparent tornado hit in Kentucky.

Shanika Washington said that as soon as she heard the storm sirens going off in her Clarksville neighborhood, she took her children, aged 5 and 10, to a windowless bathroom in the basement of her townhouse.

‘The lights were flickering, so I knew it was somewhere close in the vicinity,’ she said. ‘I just kept praying to God as it was going on. It was very terrifying and scary.’

During their 20 harrowing minutes in the bathroom, Washington hovered over her children as a protective shield.

‘The back door absolutely did fly open, and you just heard a bunch of wind,’ she said. ‘The blinds and stuff were like shaking really bad. I could tell that we were dead smack in the middle of a storm.’

When she came out of the bathroom, she looked out of a window and saw the destruction: Debris swept onto cars that had their windows broken out. Shutters ripped from homes.

Some roofs were ripped off townhouses. Air conditioning units and backyard grills were tossed like toys, and wooden dividers between townhouses were missing.

Because the power in the area was out, Washington took her children to a hotel for the night.

‘I´m still shaken up a little bit, so I probably won’t get much sleep tonight,’ Washington said. ‘I´m still trying to just kind of like process it all.’
