In 1999, a tornado tore Aleah Crago from her mother's arms. A Sheriff's Deputy found the 10 month old 100 yards away, covered in mud.  The touching rescue was caught on dash cam video.

Watch the video to see what happened when Aleah teamed up with News 9 Storm Tracker Val Castor on several storm chasing adventures across Oklahoma.
