A massive tree fell on power lines in the Grove Park neighborhood taking out power for hours. But the tornado not only uprooted a tree, but it also picked up an entire truck less than two miles away.
Wild video shows the moments the wind picked up a truck and flipped it onto Beach Boulevard on the Southside.
“I was definitely scared,” Drive Line employee Ellen Mitchell said.

Ellen Mitchell and Victor Majauskas work at Drive Line and saw it all unfold around 2:15 p.m.
“We were sitting here, and we heard a pop, and the transformer just like ‘poof,’” Majauskas said.
The workers saw a funnel form in the Mainline Auto parking lot across the street.
“I noticed the rain started to move up from the ground instead of downwards and I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, something is about to go down,’” Mitchell said. “And then I saw the funnel form and I’m like, ‘What is about to happen?’ Then I start to see the funnel completely form, pick up a Tacoma from across the street, and flip it four times.”
