Country music icon Carrie Underwood recently opened up about her family's harrowing experience during the deadly tornadoes that hit Nashville, Tennessee, back in March. In an emotional conversation on the Today show, Carrie shared how her husband, Mike Fisher, took quick action to ensure their two boys were safe during the terrifying storm. Let’s dive deeper into this heartwarming story and see how the Underwood-Fisher family navigated through one of the scariest nights of their lives.
A Night to Remember: Mike Fisher Steps Up
On the night of March 3, chaos unfolded as powerful tornadoes tore through Nashville, leaving destruction in their wake. While Carrie was on her Find Your Path book tour, Mike was at home with their two sons, 5-year-old Isaiah and 1-year-old Jacob. At around 2 a.m., Mike sprang into action. "My husband said he had to go upstairs and grab the boys," Carrie recounted, her voice filled with gratitude. "He brought them downstairs to our safe room. I bet everyone was crying, but they were all safe."
Carrie’s Heartfelt Reflections
Carrie, who was away on tour when the tornadoes hit, couldn’t have been more relieved to hear that her family was unharmed. "We have a little safe room in our house," she explained, her voice tinged with emotion. "Mike carried the boys down there, and I’m sure everyone was crying. But what matters is that they were safe." For Carrie, motherhood is a top priority, and being separated from her family during such a crisis must have been incredibly difficult. Still, her faith and trust in Mike’s ability to protect their children gave her peace of mind.

Despite the devastation, Carrie and her family’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of preparation and quick thinking in times of crisis.
Celebrating Motherhood: A Special Birthday for Isaiah
Carrie recently celebrated her eldest son Isaiah’s fifth birthday, proving once again just how much motherhood means to her. On February 28, she took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute to her little boy. "He is 5 today. Where did these last five years go?" she wrote, sharing a stunning black-and-white photo of Isaiah as a newborn. "It’s so bittersweet watching your children grow up. You want them to stay little and cuddly forever, but it’s also amazing to see them turn into little people!"
Carrie went on to express her admiration for Isaiah’s personality. "Isaiah, you are funny and smart and such a caring little boy!" she gushed. "You already have so much love for God and for all those around you. The day I became your mother was the day my life changed forever. You are 5 today, but you will always be my baby boy—no matter how old you get. Thank you for being you."
