Teen pickup driver describes being tossed around by a Texas tornado — it was 'like a carnival game':
Remember the red Chevrolet Silverado caught in the tornado in Elgin, Texas, yesterday? The winds blew the truck over, spun it, then put the truck back on its wheels, and the driver hit the gas and drove off. According to Elgin television station KXAN, the driver left the truck in Elgin, which probably led to every local outlet camping in the bushes waiting for the driver to return. They found him, of course: 16-year-old Riley Leon.
Leon told the TV reporter that the tornado had him in its grasp even before what we see in the video."There was a ditch, and it took me there, and took me out and took me to the street, and that's where I was spinning with the truck." The twister flipped him over"like a carnival game, it was fast."
