Mother Trenda Purcell was frantically searching for her first grade son Kamden in the tornado's aftermath. Kamden was sitting with an unidentified woman, possibly a teacher? Or just a Good Samaritan. As Kamden's mother approaches the little boy breathes a sigh of relief and smile from ear to ear.

Purcell scoops her little boy in her arms hugging Kamden and looking like she might never let go. An emotional Trenda Purcell thanks the woman sitting with her son over and over. The woman told Purcell that Kamden was being brave the entire time.

According to USA Today a journalist for "The Oklahoman" was with Kamden and the other woman before Trenda Purcell arrived. The journalist caught the entire emotional scene on his camera.

Search and rescue is still going on in the hopes of finding anyone who may still be alive but trapped beneath rubble. President Obama has declared a "major disaster area" in Oklahoma.
