Imagine a tornado striking when you least expect it and you have a baby to protect. Heather Town was in that situation and heroically gave her own life to protect her darling baby girl. Her daughter was found alive in her arms, still protected by her mom after hurdling through the air for hundreds of feet from her mobile home in Florida.

Who says there are no more heroes? Heather was trapped in her mobile home with her 3-year old daughter when a tornado sparked by Tropical Storm Debby hit her community in Highlands County, Florida. The tornado made a direct strike on the trailer in the small town of Venus, Florida, tearing it apart and throwing her hundred of feet through the air where she eventually landed on a barbed wire fence.

But first she did something that gives me goosebumps. She instinctively grabbed her daughter Anne Marie and held on for dear life. She died at the scene but her body cushioned the blow for her daughter. Rescue workers had to pry her arms away, and because of her motherly heroism a full recovery is expected at Tampa General Hospital despite broken ribs and a broken pelvis.

Biography: Heather Town is in many ways an average woman from a small town, just like the girl next door we all know but don’t consider enough. She liked rock music including traditional throwback bands like the Eagles and REO Speedwagon. She reads the bible and enjoyed pop culture movies like Dirty Dancing, that wonderful movie full of sexual tension starring Patrick Swayze so many years ago. She enjoyed off-road vehicles and photography.

You can see in the pictures that Miss Town had a great pair of legs and was unafraid to show off her feminine side, always tastefully but always made you aware that she was a sensual woman. Heather was single with three beautiful daughters. We don’t know the fate of her other older girls but would dearly like to find out if our readers can shed any light in the comments. And if you know how to donate to a fund for their case, please leave that information so we can help. You can see their pictures on her Facebook page.

Heather Town’s Facebook page can be found here. It is a living testimony to her character as a loving mom and family-first woman. Visitors are first greeted with a large portrait of her extended family, showing the priority of this young woman who bravely gave her life for her own baby daughter. Heather was 32-years old.
