No one knew how the little girl ended up alone , in the Indiana field . Nor did they know who the toddler with blond hair and blue eyes was . They did know that she needed help . So the rush was on Friday to help the girl after she was found in Salem after devastating tornadoes struck the area , Clark County Sheriff 's Department Maj. Chuck Adams said . Adams said the 20-month-old was intubated , with a tube inserted into her throat to help her breathe . She was taken first to Indiana 's St. Vincent Salem Hospital before being flown about 35 miles southeast to Kosair Children 's Hospital in Louisville , Kentucky , according to Brian Rublein , a spokesman for Kosair . `` She is in critical condition , '' Rublein said Saturday night . Rublein and Adams said that , since the girl was first located , someone had called to identify her . The hospital spokesman added Saturday that extended family members were then with the child . But her entire immediate family -- her parents , as well as 3-year-old brother and 2-month-old sister -- were killed in the storm , according to Rublein . Those wishing to help can do so through the hospital 's website , www.kosairchildrens.com , by specifying they want their donation to be directed to the girl who lost her family in the storm . As uncertain as this toddler 's fate was , the situation was likewise tenuous for a 9-year-old boy from Henryville , about 20 miles east of Salem . Adams said that the boy 's whereabouts have been unknown since twisters ravaged his Indiana town , destroying its high school , knocking down trees and tearing roofs off buildings . With lights knocked out throughout the region due to the potent storm , authorities were using thermal imaging and search dogs in an attempt to locate the boy , according to Adams . As of Saturday evening , authorities were reporting that at least 37 people had died as a result of the severe weather , including 18 in Kentucky and 14 in Indiana .
The girl 's parents and 2 siblings died in the storm , a hospital official says . Comment: The 20-month-old girl was found alone , without ID , in an Indiana field , authorities say . Authorities are also searching for a 9-year-old boy missing since the tornadoes hit .
