“I don’t know how anything survived the tornado but also the destruction it caused”, he explains to the AP agency, quoted by The Guardian. Come to see the damage nine days after the tragedy, the man “thought he heard a meow”. “I thought my mind was playing tricks on me so I called out his name, and I heard him meow again”, he recalls. Helped by several employees, he ended up finding Madix. If he was hungry and thirsty after all this time, the animal was unharmed. Good news that moved the whole city.
