An actor from “The Wire” has revealed that his house in Georgia was destroyed by a tornado Thursday — with his 18-year-old son in intensive care after being thrown 300 feet out of his room.

“This s–t ain’t no movie,” Tray Chaney, who played Malik “Poot” Carr on the famed HBO series, told fans in an Instagram video as he stood in front of the crumpled wreckage of his home in

Locust Grove. Chaney said he was knocked unconscious by the tornado that hit around 3 p.m. Thursday, leaving him “with my face in the mud and parts of my house on top of me.” “I woke up in a

panic … screaming my son’s name out,” he said of 18-year-old Malachi Chaney. “My son was thrown 300 feet out of his room,” he said, detailing how neighbors helped him find the teen in “the

woods behind my house.” “I lost my house, I lost everything in it,” the actor said. EXPLORE MORE “Thank god I’m still living. I survived a tornado. And my son, he survived,” he said as he

prepared to see Malachi in the ICU with several broken ribs and a fractured bone in his face. “Malachi is in this hospital fighting and me and my wife have not and will not leave his side,”

he wrote. The actor says he experienced vomiting and now has a “big knot” on his head from the storm’s impact. The Chaney family has since received an outpouring of support from friends and

fans on social media. The National Weather Service is investigating the tornado’s path, which reportedly struck just a half-mile from the track of another twister in April, WSBTV reported.
