Malachi Chaney and his father Tray, join FOX Weather to share the story of the horrifying twister that left Malachi badly injured and his resilient road to recovery.

ATLANTA – Malachi Chaney, the son of actor Tray Chaney from “The Wire,” told FOX Weather he’s on the road to recovery after he was seriously injured during a tornado.

Malachi said the EF-2 twister threw him 300 feet away from his room as it tore through the family home in Harris County, Georgia.

“I remember thinking that I was having a bad dream,” Malachi Chaney said as he recalled the moment he regained consciousness.

Malachi’s father said there were ominous sounds as the storm approached.

“The rain didn’t sound like rain, it sounded like there was a train in my house,” Tray Chaney told FOX Weather. “Before I knew it, my walls, TVs, and dressers were flying towards my face.”

Tray said he remembered waking up face down in the mud, covered in bedsheets. He quickly realized that the roof had been torn off his home, and Malachi’s bedroom was completely gone. The family is still shaken up by the terrifying experience, which left them with no furniture or belongings during the recovery process.
