Tray Chaney’s Son Survives Tornado Horror: A Father's Heartbreaking Journey
Hey everyone, I just want to take a moment to talk about something incredibly real and emotional that's recently come to light — and it involves actor Tray Chaney, the man many of us remember as Poot from The Wire . But this time, he’s not making headlines for his work on screen — it's his real life that has taken a heart-wrenching turn.

Tray recently shared devastating news that his teenage son, Malachi, is currently in the ICU after being caught in a violent tornado that tore through their neighborhood in Locust Grove, Georgia. The tornado, confirmed as an EF-2 by the National Weather Service, packed winds of up to 135 miles per hour. It completely destroyed the Chaney family’s home and, in a terrifying twist of fate, threw Malachi nearly 300 yards into a wooded area. Just think about that — 300 yards. That’s the length of three football fields.
Malachi suffered multiple injuries — broken ribs, a fractured facial bone — and for a while, things looked critical. Tray himself was also injured but made it to the hospital as soon as he could after being released. In a video he posted to Instagram, his voice was raw with emotion as he explained that his son is now stable, but the recovery is slow and painful. He said, “We survived a tornado,” and you can feel how deeply that shook him. This wasn’t just a weather event. It was a life-altering, soul-testing moment.
What hit me the hardest was when Tray said, “Mentally, I’ll be messed up forever.” As a father, that kind of trauma leaves scars you can’t see — ones that don’t heal easily. He also spoke about his wife and how this has shaken their whole family to the core. They’ve lost their home, their belongings, their sense of safety — but not their hope. They’re staying with relatives and focusing on what matters most: healing, together.
There’s a fundraiser up now to help them get through this — not just financially, but emotionally. Because rebuilding isn’t just about bricks and walls. It’s about finding strength after the storm. And Tray Chaney, through his pain, is showing what it means to be a father, a survivor, and a man holding on for the sake of his family.
Let’s keep them in our thoughts. Malachi's journey to recovery is far from over, but he’s alive. And that, in itself, is a miracle.
