Apparently the driver was 17 years old and only received a small cut on his arm.

What little growing up I did was in the Texas Panhandle. Twisters scare the hell out of me! One took out our chicken house & barn about 20 yards from the untouched house full of cousins, my grandmother, & me. I walked the fields gathering stranded chicks till after dark. There were hundreds of them.

And his next stop was to Walmart for a new pair of shorts.😁  Pretty darn lucky, even the fact that it spun on its side before back on all four.

That happened to an old friend here. He was south of town on a hill doing storm watch. Pick up spun around 180, started to lift and spun another 180. Back to town he come!

I've always had a healthy respect for tornados. But seeing a firehydrant pulled 3' out of the ground and complete devistation at Greensburg in '07..... really lets you know the danger of those things.
