A Ford would have stayed on it's wheels, or outrun it.

Is that the new Chevy factory? Pretty sure chevys are made from tornados Bruce Lee movies and big dicks.

I wonder how that kid explained the body damage and missing mirror on one side to his father and the insurance company? " No seriously, a tornado flipped me over, spun me around and then I drove away".

Whatever it was - they should make it into a commercial.

The Silverado caused the tornado, the engine is made out of tornadoes

They found the truck and driver afterwards. When asked what happened he said "It was scary." Brilliant.

Oo, scare me.

We found the red pickup truck that flipped over in Elgin tornado

What else are you going to do once you realize you aren't hurt and there is a tornado, sit there?

No, you're going to unass the area.

No, you're going to unass the area.

Especially if you live in Elgin, TX and probably never had a DL and insurance. Elgin has a large demographic that doesn't stay on the scene for anything, including wrecks, if they can drive or run away.

You notice they don't show the drivers face or give his name.

The king made a video of it

Yep they gave him a new 2022 Texas edition and some more cash to help pay for his medical expenses as he apparently needs some back surgery and his family has no insurance. Classy move IMO.

Interesting. Thought that new trucks were not available and year to get one ordered.
