Actress Tammin Sursok cowers in a closet with her terrified children as a tornado rips through Nashville
Tammin Sursok was caught in a terrifying tornado in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Australian actress cowered with her two young children and husband, Sean McEwen, on Saturday as twisters ravaged the state.
The 40-year-old shared the whole ordeal on Instagram Stories, first posting a photo of herself and her children setting up the room with pillows and blankets to hide in for the night.
“Tornado sirens going off, in a closet,” she captioned the scary photo.
Tammin later shared a video update saying that after the family settled into the closet, she had “a kid who didn't care, and a kid who did.”

“We have food, water, the dog, and yes,” she added as she walked away.
She then filmed her husband standing outside in the hallway and warned him, “You gotta get in here!” What are you doing?'
'I'm a father, you have to stay flexible. I'm ready,” he said, before revealing he had a flashlight, phone charger, cash, car keys and two knives with him in case he needed them.
'Maybe you need to survive, maybe you need stuff. This is what men do. We put things in our pockets. You have to prepare for everything,” he argued as Tammin pushed him into the closet.
