Corgi reunited with owner after tornado in Port St. Lucie
Six-year-old Luna is back safe with her owner after an EF-0 tornado struck Port St. Lucie on Sunday.
The corgi went missing in the Bay St. Lucie community after the force of the tornado pushed Molly Wing-Berman’s front door open.
“It was locked. It blew it open. Made a big hole in the wall. Took all the mail, all of the stuff on the surfaces, went out the back door, which was also locked, and put it in the pool,” Berman said.
As the tornado approached, Berman had already gone to her laundry room for safety with her 2-year-old rescue dog, Enzo. She tried to bring Luna along, but when the pup didn’t respond or follow, Berman thought she was in her usual hiding spot under the bed.
“I was in a panic,” Berman said. “We looked for her everywhere. We couldn’t find her. My daughter came over, and we looked all over the house for her. We looked all over the yard for her.”
Neighbors eventually found Luna three streets away.
“She was shaking all over and hasn’t really left my side since,” Berman said.
It’s unclear if Luna, like other items in Berman’s home, was picked up by the power of the tornado or if she ran out after being spooked by the storm.
“Poor baby,” Berman said. “She’s been sleeping very close to me.”
Luna now has a new nickname: Luna ToTo.
