The Howard County coroner says it's "a miracle" that a little girl survived a tornado that killed her parents in Nashville.

Rescuers found Melissa and Michael Mooneyhan dead Sunday night under the debris of their trailer home and believe the couple perished while desperately trying to protect their child. The toddler was found between her parents' bodies, awake and teary. She was barely scratched.

The child is about 18 months old. She was taken to the hospital and later released to relatives.

Michael Mooneyhan worked in the deli department of the local Wal-Mart. Melissa was a stay-at-home mom doting on their daughter. They met as high school students and married even before they graduated.

Sunday's storms also killed three other people in Texas.
