Riley Leon was driving his pickup truck home after a job interview when he found himself in the middle of a tornado. A passerby caught the instance on camera, and the video of Leon's truck being swept away by a tornado has gone viral. Leon sat down with FOX 7 to discuss the event and how he felt during those wild moments.

That’s going to make a great Chevy Superbowl Commercial! ;)

Seems like a really good kid.

Oh, my word…….

He’s fortunate to have survived that.

And his truck just flipped back on it wheels and he drove off.

I drove through a tornado in downtown Nashville once. It was very interesting.

Thank you. Glad the young guy is OK.

"shocking event"

That should be "spinning event".

In Texas.

Coming home from a job interview at Whataburger.

Rescued a bald eagle wrapped in a Texas flag with a two handed catch to pull him inside the truck’s cab, saving its life.

Far more dangerous than a tornado, the whirlwind had picked up dozens of savage wild hogs and become a *boarnado*.

The closest I ever came was the time in college a tornado ate my homework.

Another guy and I had a joint project. He finished typing up the only copy and left his room. Five minutes later a tornado hit and sucked the desk out of his room.

The college instructor didn’t really believe us.

I can just the advertisement now.

“FORD, TORNADO TOUGH!”

Sounds like something my mom would have said!
