Video of the tornado & his truck in it would be interesting.

I never understand why they ask questions in the manner of “what were your feelings”??? If they - the “reporter” knows the situation it does not take any imagination to expect various possible “feelings” the person might have had.

I hope they found a way to gross up the “free” truck to cover the taxes due.

We’ve had the skip over our house TWICE. Once in the western ‘burbs of St. Louis (that was a BIG one) and once on the San Francisco Peninsula (that was a small one, but still demolished roofs, sheds, and the high school tennis court fences). Our kids were playing in the back yard yelling “Mom, there’s a tornado” and Mom replied “Yeah, sure, right.” But the kids were right. It ripped roofing and gutters off our neighbor’s house across the street and down one.

The dealer gave him $25,000 also to cover the taxes.

I hope they grossed up the $25,000 to cover the taxes on the $25,000.

Riley should have gotten a ticket for “ wreckless” driving.

Did he soil his pants?
