The minute that tornado crossed, those traffic signal heads dangling from the span-wire became deadly projectiles. Notice that at the end of the video, some of those signals were missing. Also notice how a vehicle was overturned. To the driver who filmed this, you were INCREDIBLY LUCKY you were not killed.

Shows that being ignorant of your surroundings and mother nature can possibly kill you.

Rain wrapped Tornadoes are so stealthy. You never know there's one near by until you're in the bears cage already

The debris speed into that windshield. Holy smokes, so fortunate to survive that.

I was on a highway two years ago when I encountered a storm like no other I had experienced. First the skies drew nearly dark as night. There was cloud-to-ground lightning. It was close. It was very loud and the ground seemingly shook. I've never been in a war zone but wondered if the effect wasn't similar to when mortars are falling around you. Then just as we seemed past the worst, traffic slowed, then stopped. A ferocious wind rocked the car and drove the rain so hard it was impossible to see out the windshield. It passed, yet we continued to sit. We sat for 7-1/2 hours. Because the wind had knocked down nearby electrical towers and power lines were draped across the highway blocking traffic in both directions. While in the middle of that wind I wondered if it was a tornado, but found out later it was straight-line winds that did the damage. 50 miles up the road the winds had blown a train off the track. Moving south the powerful storm went on to knock power out to portions of a major city for days.

OK, if everyone in front of you has hit the brakes, WHY would you hit the GAS and pass them Is it possible they saw something you did

'I think I'll park up there under the wires, lights, poles, and signs - sorta empty here'

[vvolfsmal]

You can see the shadow of it move in, it's completely rain wrapped. I hope the person in the flipped car is okay!

[SongMom]

Doesn’t pay to be impatient on the road.

[Hammrdookie]

Why did those people stop in middle of road. Oh that's why!

[Izumi-spfp]

You are so fortunate that the vortex of that tornado had cleared the intersection moments before you entered it (the intersection). All you experienced was the inflow, which was probably about half the windspeed of that vortex you just missed intercepting.

0:40 That wind stopped his wipers and spun him off to the side. That's some power. 😯😶

I got stuck in a tornado on I-81near Raphine, VA and it was drive though it or risk being run over by an 18 wheeler. This guy had more visibility than I did. It was rough and I could barely see 10 feet in front of me. Then just like that, it all stopped and the sky was blue to the west!! Wouldn't want to ever do that again!!

[kennethloki]

In a high profile vehicle aiming towards the wind prevents being flipped over. No clue if thats what they were thinking though.

[FoulWeatherFriend]

There’s always at least one car in these videos that’s a mile ahead of the cameraman driving straight into the tornado.

[camhendry]

00:48. Is that a large spider that hits the windshield?

[micron]

Ripped the streetlights clean off! I think I seen them laying in a field in Ohio!

[NeffyCat]

It's nice to meet you, friend. I am so glad you are okay!!!! That was a super close call!! What a scary tornado! Thank you so much for sharing the footage with us. I wish you continued success on your channel!

[Quantari]

He starts by not slowing down for yellow and all but blowing the light, then trying to get around the stopped traffic rather than getting a clue. Dude then gets caught in a tornado. Shocker.
