PRAIRIEVILLE, La. — A baby monitor captured a scary moment Friday when a tree fell on top of a home, with debris barely missing a sleeping 5-month-old child, authorities said.
The baby was not hurt despite insulation and other debris raining down upon him, but it was a frightening experience for his parents, Courtney and Kale Buchholtz.
“All of a sudden it sounded like a loud thunder, stuff was coming off the walls,” Kale Buchholtz told WBRZ.
The Buccholtzes had just put their son, Cannon, down for the night when the weather began to deteriorate, the television station reported.
Then the boy’s parents heard a loud sound and immediately went to check the nursery.
“We rounded the corner in the hallway and we could see the tree in the hall,” Kale Buchholtz told WBRZ.
The moments were captured on the baby monitor. The loud noise startled Cannon, who began crying.
Courtney Buchholtz can be seen running to the crib, scooping the child out of danger.
“Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, Kale,” Courtney Buchholtz can be heard saying in the video.
“It took two days for it to set in, we were both in shock,” Kale Buchholtz told WBRZ.

The parents were shaken up, but the damages in the house are minor compared to their baby’s safety.,
“It makes you realize that a house is just a house,” Kale Buchholtz told WBRZ. “It can be replaced. Family, my little boy, that is all I was worried about for the first two days.”
